Abstract

This paper describes an approach to personalized musculoskeletal modelling, in which the muscle represented by its triangular mesh is subject to deformation, based on a modified position-based dynamic (PBD) method, followed by decomposition of its volume into a set of muscle fibres. The PBD was enhanced by respecting some muscle-specific features, mainly its anisotropy. The proposed method builds no internal structures and works only with the muscle surface model. It runs in real-time on commodity hardware while maintaining visual plausibility of the resulting deformation. For decomposition, the state-of-the-art Kukačka method is used. Experiments with the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, iliacus and adductor brevis deforming during the simulation of the hip flexion and decomposed into 100 fibres of 15 line segments show that the approach is capable of achieving promising results comparable with those in the literature, at least in the term of muscle fibre lengths.
