Abstract
Since appearance of fatigue is a reality in rehabilitation sessions, developing a muscle model that is able to cope with this effect in dynamic contractions is a must. In this paper we attempt to model the effect of fatigue in a Hill type muscle model with weighting sum of joint torques. Focus on an upper limb movement to evaluate the model, specifically an elbow flexion-extension, the promising results will contribute to achieve a generalized model that is able to mold to different movement conditions.
This study has been partially funded by the Spanish project HYPER CSD2009-00067 and the project DGA-FSE- 2012T-04.
