Quantifying Structural and Activation-dependent Contributions to Short-range Stiffness of Skeletal Muscles

Description:

Short-range stiffness (SRS) of a skeletal muscle describes the muscle's capability to resist external perturbations before the nervous system can intervene. Knowledge of the SRS of individual muscles is critical in understanding their contributions to single joint stiffness and whole limb stability. While the dependence of SRS on muscle force...
