One theory of how this could possibly be achieved suggests that complex movements are a result of the combination of simple, rudimentary building blocks called motor primitives. -In the context of this project thesis data from a study on the development of motor primitives for biped locomotion was applied to a musculoskeletal model of the human legs in the OpenSim simulation software.

Thus the application of OpenSim to the analysis of more abstract data is not easily possible and would call for the availability of additional high resolution data and the precise modeling of ground contact forces. \ No newline at end of file +In the context of this project thesis data from a study on the development of motor primitives for biped locomotion was applied to a musculoskeletal model of the human legs in the OpenSim simulation software.
