One of the main problems in motor-control research is the muscle load sharing problem,
which originates from the fact that the number of muscles spanning a joint exceeds the …

Current theories on the basal ganglia-thalamic-cortical circuitry address the phenomena of
hypokinesia and hyperkinesia. In this Perspective, we question whether the current models …

This paper is devoted to developing a biological-based algorithm to simulate the control of a
human arm by means of a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) with a pre-set structure similar to …

This paper presents a broadcast feedback approach to the distributed stochastic control of
an actuator system consisting of many cellular units. This control architecture was inspired …

The experiments presented here and performed in anaesthetized cats aimed at studying the
dynamics of interactions between antagonist muscle groups. The tendons of triceps surae …

During muscle lengthening in a movement cycle the firing rate of muscle spindles is higher
than during shortening. This phenomenon, known as hysteresis, has implications for …

The purpose of this study was to find a reproducible estimate of passive wrist joint
impedance. Six healthy subjects were exposed to constant velocity perturbations in flexion …

The main purpose was to analyze quantitatively the the average surface EMGs of the
muscles that function around the elbow and shoulder joints of both arms in bimanual …

Determination and integration of human force capabilities and requirements is an essential
component of ergonomic evaluation. With regard to hand-intensive tasks, direct force …

The two-segment model of the human arm is considered; the shoulder and elbow joint
torques (JTs) are simulated, providing a slow, steady rotation of the force vector at any end …
