Retraining Gastrocnemius Muscle Coordination Reduces Late-Stance Knee Contact Force in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation EngineeringMusculoskeletal simulations and experiments in young adults without knee pain have demonstrated that reducing gastrocnemius muscle activity can reduce knee contact force, which may reduce pain and progression of knee osteoarthritis.

Muscle coordination of maximum-speed pedaling
Journal of Biomechanics, 1997 A simulation based on a forward dynamical musculoskeletal model was computed from an optimal control algorithm to understand uni- and bi-articular muscle coordination of maximum-speed startup pedaling. The muscle excitations, pedal reaction forces, and crank and pedal kinematics of the simulation agreed with measurements from subjects.

The influence of muscle mass on the coordination required for efficient movement [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyMuscle efficiency decreases with increasing size, largely due to a relative decrease in its mechanical output. Muscle mechanical output depends on its activation, strain, and strain rate and thus varies between different muscles within a limb during ...

Muscle Coordination Control for an Asymmetrically Antagonistic-Driven Musculoskeletal Robot Using Attractor Selection [PDF]
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2018 Recently, numerous musculoskeletal robots have been developed to realize the flexibility and dexterity analogous to human beings and animals. However, because the arrangement of many actuators is complex, the design of the control system for the robot is
