Generation of Percentile Values for Human Joint Torque Characteristics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This pilot study presents an approach to generate percentile values for joint torque characteristics of digital human models. Detailed angle specific joint torque measurements of few subjects are set in relation to extensive measurements of external maximum forces including percentile values based on many subjects by using muti-body simulation. Results indicate the applicability of the approach but do not generate results of high validity due to some sources of errors along the process. More experiments solving these issues and generating valid results are being planned.

Development of joint torque through the voluntary activation of skeletal muscle is the result of a complicated series of events, beginning with the generation of excitatory action potentials in the motor cortex. A theoretical pathway of voluntary joint torque production includes motor neuron recruitment and rate-coding, sarcolemmal depolarization and calcium release by the sarcoplasmic reticulu...

Rehabilitation and assistive systems such as rotary series elastic actuators (RSEA) should provide the desired torque precisely. In this paper, to improve the life quality of those who suffer from weak knees, the control problem of a rotary series elastic actuator (RSEA) has been studied in order to generate soft human walking motion. These actuators produce the require torque, but the nonlinea...

The pathway of voluntary joint torque production includes motor neuron recruitment and rate-coding, sarcolemmal depolarization and calcium release by the sarcoplasmic reticulum, force generation by motor proteins within skeletal muscle, and force transmission by tendon across the joint. The direct source of energetic support for this process is ATP hydrolysis. It is possible to examine portions...
متن کاملEvaluating the influence of induced passive torques in the simulation of time-varying human poses
In the computerized generation of human poses, it is important to take into account not only the active component of the torque, but also the ligaments and connective tissues which produce a passive torque at the limits of the joint range of motion. We present a fatigue model in which both active and passive torque components are essential parameters integrated in an inverse kinematics animatio...
