An Optimally Switched Model of the Human Forearm.

Abstract

The study analyzes the human forearm as a nonlinear position control system. Preliminary system response patterns are first developed in two dimensional phase space. The system is then compared with an optimally switched position control system with tachometer feedback. Electromyographic potentials are processed and used to indicate the switching points and construct a model. The model is then mechanized in an analog program. (Author)
