Fantastic work from Caillet Arnault, with Luca Modenese, Andrew Phillips, and Dario Farina, on interrelated #motoneuron properties. Laying the foundations for #neuromusculoskeletal work to come.

How can we use high-density EMG (HDEMG) signals to control motoneuron (MN)-driven muscle models? We offer some answers and a validated and open-source 🤩computational method in our new published paper: 📜 doi.org/10.1371/journa… 💾 github.com/ArnaultCAILLET… 1/6

Spike trains from HDEMGs alone do not accurately predict the real neural drive to muscle and are not reliable inputs to muscle models. We developed a 4⃣-step method to predict the discharge behaviour of the complete population of MNs even from limited experimental data. 2/6

1⃣ The MNs identified from HDEMGs are located into the MN pool. 2⃣ The common MN membrane current is estimated from the experimental data. 3⃣ It controls models of discharging MNs, calibrated to match the recorded discharge frequencies. 3/6

Step 3⃣ provides a realistic distribution of the MN electrophysiological properties in the MN pool, which is applied 4⃣ to a cohort of MN models that predict the firing behaviour of the complete MN pool. 4/6

We tested both the experimental and the simulated spike trains as input to a MN-driven muscle model consisting of a collection of motor unis. Both the neural drive and the whole muscle force were better predicted with the reconstructed MN pool than with the HDEMG data alone!🤯5/6

This paper represents the outcome of a fantastic work done by Caillet Arnault and a fruitful collaboration with Andrew Phillips Structural Biomechanics and Dario Farina! 🍾🎉 ..and more publications from Arnault's doctoral work are on their way!!

No idea what the image has to do with the article but great work by Caillet Arnault, with Luca Modenese, Andrew Phillips and Dario Farina

Delighted that collaborative work with CBIS and the ADVANCE study is now published, showing that loss of bone mineral density in lower limb amputees is localized rather than systemic and correlates with altered mechanical loading #biomechanics asbmr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jb…
