Abstract
Understanding the neural control of movement requires realistic computational models of the underlying musculo-skeletal system. Current existing models for biomechanical properties of muscle tissues do not fully account for the distributed, three dimensional nature of muscle action. We are developing a new computational model for neuro-musculo-skeletal simulation based on a computational primitive called a "muscle strand", which can be used to represent muscles and tendons at different levels of details, ranging from a single muscle fiber in a pennate muscle to an entire muscle.
