Stimulated muscles and their stimulation changes at various stages.

Phase	Output
Neutral	No stimulation
Reach for door	Anterior deltoid, triceps, and forearm extensors ramp from threshold to target and then stay on the targets.
Grasp	Both triceps and anterior deltoid rise to the target. Forearm flexors go from threshold to target. Both channels are at the target location. Forearm extensors shut down by climbing to a threshold and then decreasing to zero.
Open door	Forearm flexors ramp towards the next target. Posterior deltoid goes from threshold to target. Both channels stay at their target location. Anterior deltoid and triceps turn off by ramping to threshold and then decreasing to zero.
Release	Forearm extensors ramp from threshold to target and stay at the target. Posterior deltoid and forearm flexors turn off by ramping to threshold and then decreasing to zero.
