Human Muscle Mechanics and the Distribution-Moment Model

该提案的目标是开发一种改进的 机械输出的数学模型 参数（如力和速度），以电气 激活人体骨骼肌。 激活 可以是在电的频率方面， 刺激或EMG。 该模型将是一个重要的 改进了广泛使用但过于简化的Hill 模型 拟议的工作虽然没有开辟新的领域， 在肌肉生理学中， 新的援助，在分析设计的改进系统， 诊断肌肉异常和用于恢复肌肉 通过电刺激发挥作用。

The goal of this proposal is to develop an improved mathematical model that relates mechanical output parameters (such as force and velocity) to electrical activation of the human skeletal muscle. The activation may be either in terms of the frequency of electrical stimulation or EMG. The model is to be a significant improvement over the widely used but oversimplified Hill model. The proposed work, while not breaking new ground in muscle physiology, is expected to provide a significant new aid in the analytical design of improved systems for diagnosing muscle abnormalities and for restoring muscle function through electrical stimulation.
