Analysis of the Delayed Central Nervous System Action in the Regulation of a Third-order Muscle-Tendon Model

This paper presents the analysis of a third-order linear time-invariant delay differential equation representing the regulation of a muscle-tendon system. The Central Nervous System action is modeled as a delayed proportional-derivative controller exploiting the multiplicity-induced-dominancy property. The stability analysis is illustrated via the software P3δ.
