Modeling ex vivo muscle activation may improve force predictions in a winding filament muscle model
Meeting Abstract P1-204 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:30 – 17:30 Modeling ex vivo muscle activation may improve force predictions in a winding filament muscle model. NISHIKAWA, K; TAHIR, U; RIVERA, D*; Northern Arizona University Djr294@nau.edu Muscle models that incorporate activation, force-length, and force-velocity properties of muscle perform poorly at predicting forces in work loop experiments. One reason for […]
