  1. a Majority of the muscle parameters are defined from Ward et al. [63]. However, the muscles that are not reported by Ward et al. [63] are adapted from Friedrich and Brand [56] and Wickiewicz et al. [55]
  2. b The accuracy of muscle force prediction is increased by deriving muscle pennation angles and optimal fiber lengths from Ward et al. [63] and muscle volume data from Handsfield et al. [70]
  3. c In Lai model, the muscle-tendon parameters and pathways of 22 muscles are updated without affecting the maximum isometric muscle forces
