Abstract

Interpretation of myoelectric interference patterns during movement relies on suitably formulated models. In the review, various modelling approaches are described and discussed. The importance of incorporating the time lag between mechanical and electrical activities in models of myoelectric activity is underlined. It is suggested that a portion of electrical activity is not related to force production but represents muscle efforts at damping oscillations in the surrounding soft tissues.
