Abstract :
Joint receptors are most active on certain joint angles for phase changes and joint protection. Muscles often are in series with tendons so muscle spindle information alone can not determine joint angles. We investigated the observability of the musculoskeletal dynamical and how to estimate joint muscle receptors (spindles for and Golgi tendon organs for system (MSDS), trajectories from muscle lengths muscle forces).
