Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
Computational models have been developed to help understand phenomena such as spasticity. In this study, we aim to develop a computational model using the Matlab-OpenSim interface to simulate the passive pendulum test in the elbow joint and evaluate whether the input of a neural excitation pattern with spasticity in the model would be sufficient to reproduce an altered kinematic pattern during an elbow pendulum test. We built a model with two segments that represent the humerus and radius bones, added two actuators to represent the biceps and triceps muscles, and the excitation values were obtained from the electromyography signal available in the literature. For the first simulation we used the electromyography (EMG) signal from a non-spastic person and for the last simulation was used the excitation values from a person with mild spasticity. Our results showed that it is possible to reproduce the pendulum test at the elbow joint, but modifications in the model are necessary to better reproduce the movement.
