Abstract
The contribution that a muscle makes to a torque in a certain direction depends among other things on the length and on the mechanical advantage of the muscle. In this study a simple model is presented which enables us to calculate the torques exerted by elbow flexor muscles as a function of elbow angle. The model is tested and verified with a method of spike triggered averaging.Entities:
