• All programming interface was done in MATLAB®, 2022a using the OpenSim-Matlab
• Elastic tendon
• Dynamic system activation
• Standard fiber damping
Methods
CONTROLLER
• The results obtained were compared with those described in the literature (LIN,
JU, LIN, 2003)
• spasticity in stroke patients with varying degrees of spasticity described in the
MAS and elbow joint pendulum test.
RESULTS
• Shows oscillatory
characteristics visible in the
pendulum test;
• Range of motion greater
than physiologically
possible;
RESULTS
• It was assumed that excitation data obtained in a 'third party' way could simulate
kinematic activity in spasticity
• Partially true
• It has a reduced number of oscillations (MAS 1+)
• Range of motion greater than physiological
• Biceps: EMG signal used was satisfactory for the physiological representation of
the muscle
