# About This Tool
2
+
This computational tool uses optimal control to predict muscle activity of mouse forelimb movements. Users should provide a video of a mouse forelimb movement with annotations on the paw, elbow, and shoulder. A physics simulation with a musculoskeletal model of the mouse forelimb will be performed to reproduce the annotated kinematics and will estimate biomechanical features (including joint positions/velocities, torques, muscle excitations, fiber lengths/velocities). The computational tool outputs a .mot file, which contains the activity of more than 20 forelimb muscles by time.
