Musculotendon Model to Represent Characteristics of Muscle Fatigue due to Functional Electrical Stimulation

기능적 전기자극에 의한 근육피로의 특성을 표현하는 근육 모델

This paper presents musculotendon model to show the decline in muscle force during functional electrical stimulation (FES). It represent muscle activation and contraction concepts including muscle fatigue. A muscle fatigue term in activation dynamics as a function of the intracellular acidification and the pulsewidth of stimulation pulses change activation to decline muscle force. The computer simulation shows that muscle force decline in stimulation time.
