This paper investigates an explicit biomechanical framework to solve forward neuromusculoskeletal models (NMSMs), which includes muscle-tendon activation and contraction dynamics, musculoskeletal coupling, and multibody dynamics. The study addresses a novel muscle-wrapping method to compute the shor
Musculoskeletal simulations have become an essential tool for surgical planning and clinical evaluation of movement. Accurate simulations of muscle-tendon paths in musculoskeletal models promote better predictions of muscle forces and, therefore, joint torques. A precise description of a muscle-tend
In this work a novel synergy-based bilateral tele-manipulation strategy is introduced. The proposed algorithm has been primarily developed to remotely control the Pisa/IIT SoftHand (SH) using a 3-finger hand exoskeleton as master device. With a single actuator and a sensory system limited to a posit
