Symbol

Meaning

\(\tilde{i} = 5,6\)

The number of the biarticular muscle

\({\varvec{l}}_{\tilde{i}}\), \({\varvec{r}}_{\tilde{i}}\)

The vectors from the rotational center of each joint to the muscular fixed points

\(l_{\tilde{i}}\), \(r_{\tilde{i}}\)

The lengths of the vector \({\varvec{l}}_{\tilde{i}}\) and \({\varvec{r}}_{\tilde{i}}\)

\(\phi _{\tilde{i}}\)

The angle between the base and the vector \({\varvec{l}}_{\tilde{i}}\)
