  • Multiple reflex pathways with varying sensitivities (length, velocity, acceleration) were included.
  • System responses were analyzed for Dirac delta-functions, sinusoidal functions, and mixed inputs.
  • Both linear and non-linear operational ranges of the model were studied.
  • Approximate solutions for non-linear ranges and exact numerical solutions for linear ranges were computed.

    • Main Results:

    • The extended model successfully integrated central and peripheral sinusoidal inputs with muscle properties and external loads.
    • Analysis revealed how different input types (brief vs. sinusoidal) influence system oscillations.
    • The study quantified the capacity of brief inputs to reset oscillations and sinusoidal inputs to entrain them.
    • Both linear and non-linear behaviors of the neuromuscular model were characterized.

    Conclusions:

    • The extended model provides a framework for understanding the complex dynamics of the mammalian neuromuscular system.
    • The findings highlight the significant role of input characteristics in modulating neuromuscular oscillations.
    • This research offers insights into the neural control of movement and the potential impact of external perturbations.
