Biomechanical Analysis with BoB

Biomechanics of Bodies (BoB) is a comprehensive human musculoskeletal model, entirely developed in MATLAB^®, which can be used for biomechanical analysis. Using advanced features of the MATLAB graphics system and Optimization Toolbox™, BoB provides a realistic dynamic representation of the human body as commanded by the user. BoB can display the kinematics of human movement and calculate numerous biomechanical kinetic metrics including skeletal, joint, and muscle forces; joint torques; and energy/power expenditure within the body. BoB is widely used for many applications including research by universities, engineering design analysis (such as ergonomics and product development), and sporting performance optimisation—making it a versatile tool for both scientific and engineering applications.
