A Joint-level Model of Fatigue for the Postural Control of Virtual Humans
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a model is proposed to evaluate individually the normalized fatigue at the joint level. More specifically our model distinguishes the two antagonist muscle groups acting for each degree of freedom (in short dof). The fatigue model parameters are normalized torques, joint strength and the maximum holding time that a posture can be maintained. Fatigue evolution is predicted taking into account how these parameters evolve over time. Fatigue levels can be exploited by a posture control algorithm.

The Effect of Lower Extremity Muscle Fatigue on Dynamic Postural Control Analyzed by Electromyography
Purpose: Postural control preserves organs and body parts in a proper biomechanical stance which exists in two forms: static and dynamic. Fatigue is one of the factors that affects postural control. This study aimed to compare the electromyography (EMG) activity of the lower extremity muscles before and after fatigue. Methods: This study was descriptive correlational and based on the research ...
