Muscle co-activation in the elderly contributes to control of hip and knee joint torque and endpoint force

Abstract We investigated the coordinated activity patterns of muscles based on cosine tuning in the elderly during an isometric force exertion task. We also clarified whether these coordinated activity patterns contribute to the control of hip and knee joint torque and endpoint force as co-activatio...
