The skeletal muscle electrical conductivity is higher along fibres than across fibres.
Can this effect be modelled with Sim4Life?
There is the possibility to specify conductivity tensors. What would also be needed is for the Human Models to have that conductivity tensor stored as a spatially dependent variable so that the higher conduction direction aligns with the muscle fibre direction locally. I don't think that information is available, is it?
Are there other options to model this?
Interest is in low frequency (quasi-static) currents.
Many thanks!
