Locomotion results from complex interactions between the central nervous system and the
musculoskeletal system with its many degrees of freedom and muscles. Gaining insight into …

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 …

Muscle spindle proprioceptive receptors play a primary role in encoding the effects of
external mechanical perturbations to the body. During externally-imposed stretches of …

The derivative of force with respect to time does not have a standard term in physics. As a
consequence, the quantity has been given a variety of names, the most closely related being …

Backed by a century of research and development, Hill-type muscle-tendon models are
extensively used for countless applications. Lacking recent reviews, the field of Hill-type …

Optimal control simulations have shown that both musculoskeletal dynamics and
physiological noise are important determinants of movement. However, due to the limited …

Human movement is generated by a dynamic interplay between the nervous system, the
biomechanical structures, and the environment. To investigate this interaction, we propose a …

Stable precision grips using the fingertips are a cornerstone of human hand dexterity.
However, our fingers become unstable sometimes and snap into a hyperextended posture …

Regulating ankle mechanics is essential for controlled interactions with the environment and
rejecting unexpected disturbances. Ankle mechanics can be quantified by impedance, the …

The boundary-based assist-as-needed (BAAN) force field is widely used in robotic
rehabilitation and has shown promising results in improving trunk control and postural …
