title: [Muscle energy transfer during a given wave-like movement of human body segments].
abstract: The paper deals with a movement of two voluntary segments fixed in a joint and connected by a muscle in a multi-segment biomechanical system of human body. The muscle model is a four-element mechanical system. The mechanical movement energy brought into the "segments-muscle" system from the segments preceding the next ones is studied. The movement in which the total multi-segment system of the human body participates is described by the wave equation. Conditions concerning applying active muscle efforts and correlating velocities of muscle ends movement which provide the maximal value of transferred energy have been found. It is shown that the use of "artificial muscles" type devices promotes activization of energy transfer processes between segments.
