An Approach for Simulation of the Muscle Force Modeling It by Summation of Motor Unit Contraction Forces

Figure 1

Twitches of the rat medial gastrocnemius muscle. (a) The models of the experimentally measured twitch forces of the chosen 30 MUs (red: MUs, blue: FR MUs, and green: FF MUs). In the upper right corner, the dependence between and is presented for all MUs (the same colors are used for the three MU types). (b) Comparison between one experimental twitch and its two models by using the 6-parameter function from Raikova et al. [14] and the 2-parameter function from Fuglevand et al. [6].
