Note: This research provides models of human skeletal muscle dynamics, which can be used to implement model-based force control on the finger tips; model-based adaptation/adjustment as the muscles get fatigued after certain time or work; model-based finger joint angles or movements control of the finger joints of a prosthesis for upper extremity.
