This version of the Ruby Model can be used for dynamic analysis and includes: a) a refined estimation of model inertial properties based on DEXA scan of a rugby player; b) lower limbs in order to allow the simultaneous application of multiple external loads; c) kinematics of the cervical spine from Head and Neck Vasavada's Model; d)scapula-clavicular segments coupled motion with respect to humeral elevation based on cadaveric data. Finally, this version of the Rugby Model includesneck muscles scaled on neck functional measurements of adult rugby players. View License
