Abstract

A model has been developed of the dynamics of the excitation of the motoneuron, the transduction of action potentials to muscle activation and the generation of muscle force. The PEXA model has been calibrated and tested against in vivo experimental data and reproduces the non-linear adaptation behavior of the moto-neuron and the non-linear enhancement of muscle tension at short inter-stimulus intervals. The model will be useful in detailed dynamical modeling of high speed voluntary movements. (formerly 060)
