ABSTRACT

In a narrow sense, the aim of studies on the mechanism of force generation of skeletal muscle is to give theoretical explanations to the dynamic characteristics and phenomena of muscular contraction and to promote the relevant experimental researches in an iterative way of verification and correction. In a broad sense, it aims to provide theoretical guidance to practical applications in the fields such as biomechanics and biomedicine, including diagnosis and evaluation of muscle diseases, human–machine integrated coordinated control of exoskeleton robots, dynamic modeling of human motion, bionic design of artificial muscle and humanoid robot, etc. Thus, there are both great theoretical significance and wide application foreground concerning the study of force generation mechanism of skeletal muscle.
