The nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans has become an important model organism for many areas of biological research including genetics, development, and neurobiology. It is the first organism to have its genome sequenced, complete cell ontogeny determined, and nervous system mapped. With all of the information that is available on this simple organism, \emph{C. elegans} may also become the first organism...
As a part of the EU-project ldquoRISErdquo a pendulum test was applied to evaluate the effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) on denervated degenerated anterior thigh muscles. A sensor-actuator system was connected to the lower leg via an adjustable lever to hold the subject's knee joint align with the pivot of the test device. The motor of the pendulum system allowed to compensate static...
A simple model representing the quasistatic behavior of skeletal muscle is presented in which the force produced by the muscle is a bilinear function of the muscle length and the neural activation of the muscle. Using two such muscles to represent the biceps and triceps, a biomechanical model of the elbow and forearm is developed. For maintenance of static posture of the elbow and forearm, this model...
