Abstract

A simulation model for the motor unit innervation process (MUIP) is proposed. The model is based on the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model, which enables it to simulate the complex dynamics of MUIPs, such as the interactions between motor unit common drive and MUIP correlation (motor unit synchrony). Some simulation results are presented and possible extensions of the model are discussed
