Computational prediction of muscle synergy using a finite element framework for a musculoskeletal model on lower limb. [PDF]
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

Improving the Learning Rate, Accuracy, and Workspace of Reinforcement Learning Controllers for a Musculoskeletal Model of the Human Arm [PDF]
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 ...
