Dear colleagues,
Several days ago I posted message asking for values of the parallel
elastic components in the wrist and elbow muscles. I would like to thank
all those who replied with some very helpful information.
Below is a summary of replies for those of you who expressed their interest.
Thanks again

Movement Patterns Through the Use of In-Depth Antagonistic
Muscle Models" IEEE Trans Biomedical Engr Vol BME-32 No. 10

Subject: wrist parallel elasticity
We haven't measured parallel elasticity in individual wrist muscles, but did
find that the passive elasticity about the wrist was very small over the middle
90-100 degrees of the range of motion ( < 0.1 Nm over the middle 80 degrees,

Res 81:199-208, 1990). Lakie, Walsh and Wright did a sinusoidal i/o
identification
(J. Physiol 353:265-285, 1984) and also found small net elasticity. Rick
Lieber may have individual muscle values.

You might try these references to get good numbers for general Parallel elastic
Component of muscle. The references are:
