Both the Hill and the Huxley muscle models had already been described by the time the
International Society of Biomechanics was founded 50 years ago, but had seen little use …

Musculoskeletal simulations are used in many different applications, ranging from the
design of wearable robots that interact with humans to the analysis of patients with impaired …

Accurate predictive simulations of human gait rely on optimisation criteria to solve the
system's redundancy. Defining such criteria is challenging, as the objectives driving the …

Hundred years ago, Fenn demonstrated that when a muscle shortens faster, its energy
liberation increases. Fenn's results were the first of many that led to the general …

Muscle models are commonly based on intrinsic properties pooled across a number of
individuals, often from a different species, and rarely validated against directly measured …

Advanced Neuromuscular Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, uses a mix of biochemistry,
molecular biology, neurophysiology, and muscle physiology to provide a synthesis of …

Although cycling is a seemingly simple, reciprocal task, muscles must adapt their function to
satisfy changes in mechanical demands induced by higher crank torques and faster …

Purpose A key determinant of muscle coordination and maximum power output during
cycling is pedaling cadence. During cycling, the neuromuscular system may select from …

Walking Assistive Exoskeletons (WAEs) are wearable devices that can allow individuals with
mobility impairments to maintain their autonomy. The growing elderly population has …

The nervous system is faced with numerous strategies for recruiting a large number of motor
units within and among muscle synergists to produce and control body movement. This is …
