In this work, we present an improved biomechanical model of the knee and the muscle group involved to ensure the movement of extension of the knee joint, under an external load. The problem of redundancy is solved by presenting the problem as an optimization procedure. In order to identify the best objective function to be optimized, we carried out some experimental tests during which measurements of some tendon forces were performed using EMG sensors.
