The effect of the number motor units and their maximum firing rate in a musculoskeletal model of human reaching

2025-09-21

Abstract excerpt

Vertebrate muscle has two features which heavily influence its force generation characteristics: rate-coded control and the division of muscles into multiple motor units (MUs). Studying how these features affect functional outcomes is difficult in vivo, but also in silico due to scarcity of modelling frameworks integrating rate-coded MU pool models with musculoskeletal models for functional tasks. We implement a h...
