Applications Revisited
Is it useful?
- Muscle characterisation.
- Work under way.
- Using rat leg muscles with split peripheral nerve.
- Functional Neuromuscular Stimulation.
- Good possibilities.
- Only a crude measure of tension is needed, as only the
amplitude of the fundamental component is used, and that is
being reduced to zero, so scaling factor is not crucial.
- Stretch of tendon may be adequate.
- Multiple inputs can be surface or implanted electrodes.
- Each electrode only activates part of the muscle,
reducing stimulus strength needed.
