DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2020.104136
Abstract: Musculoskeletal models provide non-invasive and subject-specific biomechanical investigations of the musculoskeletal system. In a musculoskeletal model, muscle forces contribute to the deformation and kinematics of the joint which in turn would alter moment arms of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tnsre.2018.2838448
Abstract: This paper aimed to develop a novel electromyography (EMG)-based neural-machine interface (NMI) that is user-generic for continuously predicting coordinated motion betweenmuscle contractionmetacarpophalangeal (MCP) and wrist flexion/extension. The NMI requires a minimum calibration procedure that only… read more here.
