Computational prediction of muscle synergy using a finite element framework for a musculoskeletal model on lower limb. [PDF]
Front Bioeng Biotechnol, 2023 Previous studies have demonstrated that the central nervous system activates muscles in module patterns to reduce the complexity needed to control each muscle while producing a movement, which is referred to as muscle synergy. In previous musculoskeletal

Validation of an Echidna Forelimb Musculoskeletal Model Using XROMM and diceCT. [PDF]
Front Bioeng Biotechnol, 2021 In evolutionary biomechanics, musculoskeletal computer models of extant and extinct taxa are often used to estimate joint range of motion (ROM) and muscle moment arms (MMAs), two parameters which form the basis of functional inferences.

Improving the Learning Rate, Accuracy, and Workspace of Reinforcement Learning Controllers for a Musculoskeletal Model of the Human Arm [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022 Cervical spinal cord injuries frequently cause paralysis of all four limbs - a medical condition known as tetraplegia. Functional electrical stimulation (FES), when combined with an appropriate controller, can be used to restore motor function by ...
