Hill-type muscle models are highly preferred as phenomenological models for
musculoskeletal simulation studies despite their introduction almost a century ago. The use …

Understanding neural control of movement necessitates a collaborative approach between
many disciplines, including biomechanics, neuroscience, and motor control. Biomechanics …

Muscle coordination studies repeatedly show low-dimensionality of muscle activations for a
wide variety of motor tasks. The basis vectors of this low-dimensional subspace, termed …

Coherence analysis has the ability to identify the presence of common descending drive
shared by motor unit pools and reveals its spectral properties. However, the link between …

This book is born from the need for a succinct means to convey basic concepts of
engineering, mechanics, and mathematics to those who care deeply about combining …

It is well-known that muscle redundancy grants the CNS numerous options to perform a task.
Does muscle redundancy, however, allow sufficient robustness to compensate for loss or …

A linear relation between surface electromyogram (EMG) amplitude and muscle force is
often assumed and used to estimate the contributions of selected muscles to various tasks …

Much debate has arisen from research on muscle synergies with respect to both limb
impedance control and energy consumption. Studies of limb impedance control in the …

Introduction Dissolving microneedles (DMN) offer advantages in vaccine delivery, such as
enhanced immunogenicity and simplified administration, by targeting immune-rich layers of …

Animals must control numerous muscles to produce forces and movements with their limbs.
Current theories of motor optimization and synergistic control are predicated on the …
