Analysis of maintaining human maximal voluntary contraction control strategies through the power grip task in isometric contraction.

ABSTRACT: Power grip force is used as a representative indicator of the ability of the human neuromuscular system. However, people maintain the power grip force via different control strategies depending on the visual feedback that shows the magnitude of the force, the magnitude of the target grip force, and external disturbance. In this study, we investigated the control strategy of maintaining the power grip force in an isometric contraction depending on these conditions by expressing the power grip force as a person's Maximal Voluntary Contraction (MVC). The participants were asked to maintain the MVC for each condition. Experimental results showed that humans typically control their MVC constant abilities based on proprioception, and maintaining the target MVC becomes relatively difficult as the
