X Abstract

Rapid human movements exhibit a quasilinear relationship between their amplitude and maximum velocity and a log-like relationship between their amplitude and duration. The authors demonstrate that those well-observed relations can be obtained with a simple nonlinear muscle model and a pulse-step control scheme. That result encourages the use of nonlinear musculoskeletal models with simple control schemes for modeling human ballistic movements.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
