Resumen
According to previous studies, some muscles present
a non-homogeneous spatial distribution of its muscle fiber types
and motor unit types. However, available muscle models only
deal with muscles with homogeneous distributions. In this paper,
a new architecture muscle model is proposed to permit the
construction of non-uniform distributions of muscle fibers within
the muscle cross section. T ...

According to previous studies, some muscles present
a non-homogeneous spatial distribution of its muscle fiber types
and motor unit types. However, available muscle models only
deal with muscles with homogeneous distributions. In this paper,
a new architecture muscle model is proposed to permit the
construction of non-uniform distributions of muscle fibers within
the muscle cross section. The idea behind is the use of a motor
unit placement algorithm that controls the spatial overlapping
of the motor unit territories of each motor unit type. Results
show the capabilities of the new algorithm to reproduce arbitrary
muscle fiber type distributions. [--]
