How Muscle Stiffness affects Neural Control Parameters: Short-Range Stiffness Improves Stability and Feedback Robustness of Musculoskeletal Models

This paper investigates the effect of intrinsic muscle stiffness on neural control parameters in biological musculoskeletal control of stabilisation or reaching tasks. Current model implementations of intrinsic muscle properties are highly simplified, limiting their accuracy in replicating experimental short-range stiffness (SRS) behaviour,...
