چکیده

The muscular forces of the upper limb while resisting an imposed flexion-extension movement at the wrist were investigated. A normal subject was examined using a robotic apparatus which measured her wrist resistive flexing/extending moments while it was moved with a constant angular speed. A musculoskeletal model of the upper limb was developed, including a mathematical model to simulate the muscles contraction. An optimization algorithm, based on minimum muscle activation, was used to determine the muscles contributions into the resistive moments. Results indicated that the wrist resistive flexor moment was mostly contributed by the flexor carpi ulnaris and carpi radialis, with rates of 65 and 25 percent, respectively. For the wrist resistive extensor moment, extensor carpi radialis brevis and longus contributed the most, with contribution rates of about 40 and 35 percent, respectively. Verification of the results against the subject’s EMG data revealed a reasonable agreement for the flexors activation patterns. Further work is going on to adapt the model for simulation of the neural lesion and muscular spasticity in brain injury subjects, for whom the speed in movement is considered to be a critical factor in the force generation pattern.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
