The joint parameters of the foot and talus have been hard coded, so they can be changed in footpos study. However, this causes a problem with the static based (non-optimized) model. We need to find way to break expressions when needed.

Dear Mr Lund:

Hello! Sorry for disturbing you in such a sudden.

Lund-2015-Scaling-of-musculoskeletal-models-f.pdf

I have read an article of yours, which is "Scaling of musculoskeletal models from static and dynamic trials"(Internetional Biomechanics, 2015), and been impressed by the RBF method used to implement the non-linear scaling of a model. However, I don't quite understand the concrete implmentation process of this method, so I want to ask some questions and hope for your answers, which are:

1. Did you only use the markers of motion capture data to generate the scaled model? Or did you combine with some points of the origin model?
   (Because I think only by the markers it may not be sufficient to generate a complete model.)
2. May I know more about the RBF calculation process during scaling, like how to calculate the coefficients of the radial basis function?
3. Have you tried this method in upper body? If yes, can it lead to a satisfactory result?
