Modeling, assessment, and rehabilitation of human motor control systems

The goal of the project is to apply concepts from systems and control theory to model and analyze the human motor control systems in order to generate useful information for treatments and interventions. Human-robot physical interaction is used to assess the motor control of the subject. The intent of the estimated motor control is analyzed by solving the formulated inverse optimal control problem. This project has been funded by an NIH center grant, “Systems Science Center for Musculoskeletal CAM Therapies.” See more information at Center for Orthopedic Research.
