MUSCLE STIFFNESS MEASUREMENTS IN THE PRESENCE OF REFLEXES.

Ian Hunter, Patrice Weiss, Rob Kearney

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

The traditional variables measured in association with muscle mechanics have been length and force. However another mechanical variable, muscle stiffness, has recently received a good deal of attention. The authors conducted studies in which the force and stiffness relation was studied over the full range of agonist and antagonist muscle activation levels. The paper shows an example of the stiffness-force relation obtained in one of these experiments. The predicted linear relation between force and stiffness is substantiated and furthermore there is no hysteresis obvious.
