Physiological considerations of muscle force through the elbow joint.
An analytical model for the determination of muscle forces across the elbow joint during isometric loading conditions has been developed. The model incorporates the muscle length-tension relationship, while considering the muscle architecture. Sensitivity analyses were performed to study the effects of the geometric and architectural factors of the muscles on the distribution of muscle forces.
