Feasibility of Incorporating Test-Retest Reliability and Model Diversity in Identification of Key Neuromuscular Pathways During Head Position Tracking.

ABSTRACT: To study the complex neuromuscular control pathways in human movement, biomechanical parametric models and system identification methods are employed. Although test-retest reliability is widely used to validate the outcomes of motor control tasks, it was not incorporated in system identification methods. This study investigates the feasibility of incorporating test-retest reliability in our previously published method of selecting sensitive parameters. We consider the selected parameters via this novel approach to be the key neuromuscular parameters, because they meet three criteria: reduced variability, improved goodness of fit, and excellent reliability. These criteria ensure that the parameter variability is below a user-defined value, the number of these parameters is maximized to enha
