The concept of excitation-contraction coupling is almost as old as Journal of General Physiology It was understood as early as the 1940s that a series of stereotyped events is responsible for the ...

During a maximal isometric plantar flexion effort the moment measured at the dynamometer differs from the resultant ankle joint moment. The present study investigated the effects of contraction form ...

In this paper, a contraction-based backstepping nonlinear control technique was proposed. The proposed controller syn- thesis technique utilizes both the recursive nature of backstepping control and ...
