If we want to scale the model it was sometimes difficult because the model went through the floor or the program crashed.

The easiest way to scale a model is by using the scaling tool (using the height and weight of the subject). However, for more accurate models individuals segment's lenght can be adjusted further if there is available data from a particular subject. https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/display/OpenSim/Tutorial+3+-+Scaling%2C+Inverse+Kinematics%2C+and+Inverse+Dynamics
