Various interpretations and parameters have been proposed to assess spinal stability such as antagonist muscle coactivity, trunk stiffness buckling load; however, the correlation between these remains unknown. We evaluated during different tasks while changing external moment load height investigated likely relationships EMG- model-based (e.g., EMG coactivity ratio, stiffness, force ratio) margins. kinematics of 40 young healthy subjects were recorded various quasi-static tasks. Muscle...
Modeling the spine behavior plays a key role in understanding mechanisms leading to spinal disorders and injuries. The goal of this article is develop new model obtain 3D movement patterns. High degrees freedom system, great many muscles involved movements its unstable intrinsic make control problem more difficult. New theories computational motor suggest optimal as useful tool for modeling Central Nervous System (CNS) provide appropriate signals while it computes neural interactions with...
