Human Electro-Muscular Incapacitation (HEMI): Physiological Modeling Weapons

Abstract

The overall goal of this research is to develop a product that estimates the risks of rhabdomyolysis, cardiovascular, and respiratory effects from a HEMI stimulus under different use scenarios or with different device characteristics. The research and development work outlined in this report cover methods to model the electrical dosimetry, motor neuron excitation, and muscle excitation-contraction.
