Abstract

A computer model of the musculoskelotal system that provides accurate prediction of muscle force and body movement trom the stimulation input is desired for the effective control system design in FES. This paper aims to investigate the fundamental properties of the gradual muscle force potentiation that was not included in the previous muscle models, for future development of a model that provides vetter prediction of FES-induced muscle force and body movement. Specifically, hou the muscle length was investigated. The experimental results showed that both the force increment ratio and the time-to-peak during electrical stimulation decreased with stimulatino frequency. When the muscle potentiation state was saturated by preceding stimulation. the force did not increase any more during additive stimulation. Muscle length significantly affected the force potentiation in such a way that the force increment ratio decreased with muscle length. A new model of the muscle potentiation based on these results is desired in the future.

기능적 전기자극(FES)에 의한 사지운동의 효과적인 제어를 위해서는, 전기자극을 입력으로 하여 근력 및 운동을 정확히 출력하는 근골격모델이 요망된다. 이 연구에서는 FES에 의한 근력 및 운동을 보다 정확히 예측할 수 있는 모델을 작성하기 위하여, 기존의 근육모델에서는 포함되지 않았던 근력의 점진적 강화현상에 대한 기초적 성질을 조사하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 구체적으로는, 일정강도의 표면자극에 대한 근력의 강화현상이 주파수, 자극이력, 근육길이에 어떻게 의존하는지를 조사하였다. 실험결과로부터, 자극의 주파수가 높을수록 초기근력에 대한 자극중의 근력의 증가도는 작아지고 근력의 피크에 도달하는 시간이 짧아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 선행 자극에 의해 근육의 내부적인 강화상태가 포화되면 근력은 추가적인 자극에 대해서도 더 이상 증가하지 않았다. 자극시의 근육의 길이는 근력강화에 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 근육의 길이가 짧을수록 증가도가 컸다. 장래에는 이러한 결과를 토대로 한 새로운 근력강화의 모델이 요망된다.
