In this paper, endpoint compliance ellipsoids based on muscle force and muscle activity are calculated by using a musculoskeletal model. Muscle force and muscle activity during maintenance of posture are estimated by an optimization calculation based on the musculoskeletal and muscular contraction models. The calculated endpoint compliance with a given posture is shown by an ellipsoid. The difference between the muscle force- and the muscle activity-based endpoint compliance ellipsoids are discussed. Furthermore, passive endpoint compliance ellipsoid is also calculated. This ellipsoid also shows similar spatial characteristics.
