Abstract

Computer modeling and control of the human motor system may be helpful to the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. In this paper, the brief view of the equilibrium point hypothesis for human motor system modeling is given, and the λ-model derived from this hypothesis is studied. Then, the stability of the λ-model based on equilibrium and Jacobian matrix is investigated, and some mathematical and simulation results are presented. The results suggest that the λ-model is stable and has a unique equilibrium point under certain conditions
