Abstract		The key element of the developed model is represented by muscle actination criteria based on minimization of bending loading along the femur and tibia bones. Such minimization function reflects in coordinated muscle action and synergystically distributed load between several muscles which, could be further displayed in lower muscle fatigue and prolonged FES activity. Musculotendon model co of first ordcr actination dynamics and first order musculotendon dynamics and is with minor differences similar to those used in other biomechanical studies. Tendon is assumed to be elastic and linear, considered is also muscle pennation, muscle fiber composition, nonlinear parallel elasticity (PE), force-length and Hill velocity-force relation of contractile element (CE).
