The brachioradialis muscle (BRD) is one of the main elbow flexors and is often assessed by
surface electromyography (sEMG) in physiology, clinical, sports, ergonomics, and …

In this paper, a musculo-skeletal model of the upper limb is presented. The limb is modelled
as a three-dimensional 7 degrees-of-freedom system, linked to the shoulder, which has …

This paper proposes a new control strategy for noncompliant and compliant antagonistic
tendon drives. It is applied to a succession of increasingly complex single-joint systems …

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 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 …

Molecular mechanisms of muscular fiber contraction from native conditions of rest are found
to be more complex in comparison with those from conditions of preliminary pressure. An …

We studied central motor commands, CMCs, coming to the muscles that flex and extend the
shoulder and elbow joints in the course of generation of voluntary isometric efforts of …

The activity of 18 motor units (MUs) of m. biceps brachii was studied in four adults during
highamplitude isotorque ramp-and-hold movements in the elbow joint. The recorded MUs …

Relations between the kinematic parameters of slow (non-ballistic) targeted extension
movements in the elbow joint of humans and characteristics of the movement-related EMG …
