- Title
From Equilibrium Point to Optimal Control.
- Authors
Shadmehr, Reza
- Abstract
The author discusses hypotheses advanced by researcher A.G. Feldman in 1966 regarding muscle physiology and feedback control. Feldman's theory regarding motorneurons and muscular force is described and explained mathematically. More recent mathematical models of muscular control are compared to Feldman's. A mathematical representation of the relationship between muscular force and stiffness developed by researchers Hoffer and Andreassen is discussed. Feldman is said to have argued that certain mathematical models of muscle regulation were flawed because of underlying assumptions about the brain's ability to specify muscle force in the absence of sensory feedback.
