forces generated in muscles through the application of the laws of motion from Newtonian mechanics.

These motor commands can be estimated with the electrical activities in the muscle tissue‚ which are recorded using electromyography (EMG) techniques. The activity of muscles as a function of time‚ also known as muscle activations provides
