Slow Limb Movements Require Precise Control of Muscle Stiffness

Abstract: Slow and accurate finger and limb movements are essential to daily activities, but their neural control and governing mechanics are relatively unexplored. We consider neuromechanical systems where slow movements are produced by neural commands that modulate muscle stiffness. This formulation based on strain-energy equilibria is in agreement with prior work on neural control of muscle and limb impedance. Slow limb movements are driftless in the sense that movement stops when neural commands stop. We demonstrate… Show more
