Abstract
Muscle structure is an essential component in typical computational models of the musculoskeletal system. Almost all musculoskeletal models represent muscle geometry using a set of line segments. The straight-line approach limits models' ability to accurately predict the paths of muscles with complex geometry. This approach needs knowledge of how the muscle changes shape and interacts with fundamental structures like muscles, bones, and joints that move. Moreover, the moment arms are supposed to be equivalent to all the fibers in the muscle. This study aims to create a shoulder musculoskeletal model that includes complex muscle geometries. We reconstructed the shape of fibers in the entire volume of six muscles adjacent to the shoulder using an automated technique. This method generates many fibers from the surface geometry of the skeletal muscle and its attachment areas. Highly discretized muscle representations for all muscles were created and used to simulate different shoulder movements. The moment arms of each muscle were calculated and validated against cadaveric measurements and models of the same muscles from the literature. We found that simulations using the developed musculoskeletal models generated more realistic geometries, which expands the physical representation of muscles compared to line segments. The shoulder musculoskeletal model with complex muscle geometry is created to increase the anatomical reality of models and the lines action of muscle fibers, and to be used for finite element investigations.
