I. Changes in stretch reflex gain and stiffness of the long flexor muscles of the thumb in man
were examined in two kinds of motor tasks, force control and position control, by applying …

To make clear the control mechanism of force generation in human muscle, the electrical
activity of the brachialis muscle was studied at various levels of contraction force by recording …

The purpose of this study is to examine whether or not the application of independent
component analysis (ICA) is useful for separation of motor unit action potential trains (MUAPTs) …

THE FORCE-LOAD-VELOCITY RELATION AND THE VISCOUS-LIKE FORCE IN THE FROG
SKELETAL MUSCLE Page 1 Jap. J. Physiol., 22, 103-120, 1972 THE FORCE-LOAD-VELOCITY …

We propose a novel system that analyzes the components of rigidity in Parkinson's disease (PD)
usually perceived by physicians, in a very simple and systematic way for routine clinical …

The purpose of this study was to develop a finger taps acceleration measurement system for
the quantitative diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. The system was composed of two 3-axis …

The purpose of this study is to develop a myoelectric prosthetic hand that simulates fundamental
dynamic properties of the neuromuscular control system of human hand. In particular, …

A neural-network model consisting of a single motor cortex output cell, alpha motoneurons,
Renshaw cells, and muscle units is proposed. Linear relations between motor cortex output …

Spatial temporal plantar pressure patterns measured with sheet-shaped pressure sensor
were investigated to extract features of gait in Parkinson's disease. Both six subjects of …

In a new Hill-type two-mode model of skeletal muscle, a stretch-evoked force enhancement
mode is introduced in addition to a sliding filament mode on the descending limb of the …
