CusToM: a Matlab toolbox for musculoskeletal simulation

Customizable Toolbox for Musculoskeletal simulation (CusToM) is a MATLAB toolbox aimed at performing inverse-dynamics-based musculoskeletal analyses (Erdemir, McLean, Herzog, & Bogert, 2007). This type of analysis is essential to access mechanical quantities of human motion in different fields such as clinics, ergonomics and sports. CusToM exhibits several features. It can generate a personalized musculoskeletal model, and can solve from motion-capture data inverse kinematics, external forces estimation, inverse dynamics and muscle forces estimation problems as in various musculoskeletal simulation software (Damsgaard, Rasmussen, Christensen, Surma, & Zee, 2006; Delp et al., 2007) (Figure 1).
