Muscle Torque Generator Model For A Two Degree-of-Freedom Shoulder Joint

Bell, Sydney (University of Waterloo, 2023-02-06)

Muscle Torque Generators (MTGs) have been developed as an alternative to muscle-force models, reducing the complexity of muscle-force models to a single torque at the joint. Previous studies have been conducted to determine ...
Neural control of the healthy pectoralis major from low-to-moderate isometric contractions

Lulic-Kuryllo, Tea; Thompson, Christopher K.; Jiang, Ning; Negro, Francesco; Dickerson, Clark R. (American Physiological Society, 2021-07-01)

The pectoralis major critically enables arm movement in several directions. However, its neural control remains unknown. High-density electromyography (HD-sEMG) was acquired from the pectoralis major in two sets of experiments ...
