Muscle co-contraction modulates damping and joint stability in a three-link bio mechanical limb

Computational models of neuromotor control require forward models of limb movement that can replicate the natural relationships between muscle activation and joint dynamics without the burdens of excessive anatomical detail. We present a model of a three-link biomechanical limb that emphasizes the d...
