Full-body Musculoskeletal Model

[acrlw]

Dear MyoSuite Team,

I would like to know if there is a plan to release a full-body musculoskeletal model. I noticed a similar request in issue #173 , but when I checked MyoSuite 2.7.0, I found only a full-body skeletal model without muscle control.

Thank you!

I have the same doubt. I found that the MyoLeg model is the closest to the Full-body muscle-skeleton model, but it seems to only involve the lower-body muscles.

I would guess that adding a full body muscular system (like OpenSim) is huge task?

Maybe though just releasing the muscles which articulate the whole spine would be an easier project?

This would very helpful for postural research. It would also make a lot of more interesting tasks possible (i.e. muscular control to prevent spinal pathologies like scoliosis and kyphosis)?

we have released myolegs with abdomen and we in the process to release a fully articulated lumbar back model. Hope those help

Hi @Vittorio-Caggiano

i was just wondering if the MyoBack model is likely to be released soon? I saw in the pull request that @cherylwang20 mention,

I also have created an env to achieve a simple 'upright' position for this model. Do you want me to add it as well?

that would be great if it was released as well

All the best,

Ajay

Hi @ajaytalati Thanks for your question. We are in the processing of releasing the model and the base env. Please expect an update in the next week or two.
