Experimental pain models in humans to investigate individual differences
Sex-differences
Personality
Genetics
Using intramuscular infusions, cold pressor task or muscle fatigue
Factors contributing to fatigue differences
Sex-differences
Between-joint differences
Joint Strength and Fatigue
Modeling 3D strength surfaces
Males vs. Females
Strength percentiles
Major joints: knee, elbow, shoulder, wrist, trunk, hip, ankle
For digital human modeling application in collaboration with the Virtual Soldier Research Group and Center for Computer-aided Design
Muscle activation strategies
Muscle co-contraction during strength testing
