I found that the "Double Pendulum with Stiction" (with mech_dpen_sticky entered into Matlab command) example can be used to model human leg with joint resistance. From reading, the joint resistance is also known as joint stiction. The question is how can I used the joint stiction model in the above example to represent each human hip, knee and ankle joints stiction.

Are you sure you want to use first generation Multibody software? In second generation you can use the contact forces library and Multiphysics library by Steve Miller.

At the moment I'm using the first generation. No intention yet to move to second generation as I use the first generation for my work. How can I work and proceed using the given example? Thank you.

Well, what is the question then? What did you try and what can't you get to work?
