Abstract

The objective of this aim is to design and develop a computational model of the triceps brachii. Based on previous research on bicep motor-unit models, this study proposes an integrated model of the bicep and tricep. Ongoing work is focused on validation of the motor-unit model based on the experimental data available in the literature related to force outputs and sEMG. Upon validation, this model will allow us to investigate pathological conditions such as dystonia.  All studies are conducted using MATLAB. Future work will involve extending this model to integrate with real-world prosthetics and sports rehabilitation.
