In vivo dynamics of the musculoskeletal system cannot be adequately described using a stiffness-damping-inertia model.

BACKGROUND: Visco-elastic properties of the (neuro-)musculoskeletal system play a fundamental role in the control of posture and movement. Often, these properties are described and identified using stiffness-damping-inertia (KBI) models. In such an approach, perturbations are applied to the (neuro-)...
