Abstract

This paper presents musculotendon model to show the decline in muscle force during functional electrical stimulation (FES). It represent muscle activation and contraction concepts including muscle fatigue. A muscle fatigue term in activation dynamics as a function of the intracellular acidification and the pulsewidth of stimulation pulses change activation to decline muscle force. The computer simulation shows that muscle force decline in stimulation time.
