\TODO{Conclusion about work done}

Thus OpenSim with the provided and used muscle-skeleton models is in its current state 
not feasible for the simulation of tasks such as those that were subject of this project.

\begin{itemize}
	\item Precise EMG data from an actual subject (no averaged an processed patterns) would be needed in order to achieve realistic behavior in simulation with OpenSim.
	\item Focus of OpenSim more on clinical applications where such data is available.
	\item A more abstract musculoskeletal model of a human would need to be developed in OpenSim, for such simulations, but is outside of the focus of this project. The OpenSim API would provide a decent foundation for developing such a model from scratch.
	\item Ground contact forces would need to be incorporated (and provided by the study the project is based on).
	\item Muscles were removed from the model ``arbitrarily'' (because no data is available for them), consequences for behavior of model unclear
\end{itemize}

More abstract models such as the ones used by Geyer and Herr \cite{Geyer2010}, Marques et al \cite{Marques2012a, Marques2012} might be more suitable.
