Creating Neuromusculoskeletal Models

Neuromusculoskeletal models play an important role in developing an understanding of motor control by permitting quantitative tests of concepts, designing crucial experiments, and estimating otherwise unmeasurable quantities. Models also play a role in designing methods to optimize motor performance, treat movement disorders, and assist or restore motor function in cases of disability.
