In this study it is investigated to increase the neuromechanical parameter estimations by using an input-rich measurement protocol and by expanding the ankle muscle model with tendon dynamics. New measurement protocols are developed using a structured method through model simulations. Enriching the measurement protocol was found to lead to good modelling fits (high VAF, low SEM). Expanding the muscle model with tendon dynamics was found to lead to similar results as compared to the muscle model without tendon dynamics.
