Hi Daan

Maybe you can explain why you need physics in your mocap/ragdoll 
project. 

A possibly related problem has been addressed in some Papers dealing 
with the combination of motion capture data and Physics for Computer 
Games where prerecorded actions had to be altered according to ingame 
interactions. 
As an example they had a rugbyplayer mocap runcycle that was to be 
altered by pushing him aside.

Unfortunately I didn't save the PDF and I don't know where it was but 
it certainly can be found quickly.

A quick google for   "ragdoll motion capture simulation"  returned

Perhaps you might also want to check out Natural motion's endorphin.
