Abstract: FRF frequency response function FT classical force task GL Gastrocnemius Lateralis GM Gastrocnemius Medialis GTO Golgi tendon organ H driving condition with only haptic feedback IEMG integrated rectified EMG iTTC inverse time-to-contact NMS neuromusculoskeletal PT classical position task RT classical relax task SO Soleus STD standard deviation TA Tibialis Anterior THW time headway VAF variance accounted for V driving condition with visual feedback VH driving condition with visual and haptic feedback Measuring neuromuscular dynamicsThe neuromuscular mechanisms described in the previous section all act together during motion control, showing a combined behaviour that has elastic, viscous and inertial properties.Many experimental studies (Abbink et al., 2004a;De Vlugt, 2004;Schouten, 2004), have shown that these properties can be adapted through changes in muscle co-contraction and reflexive activity.A relatively common method of describing neuro-
