Biomechanics practicals Flashcards
1
Q
What is a limitation of simi
A
simi cannot calculate the joint angle as a continuous variable but will start from 0 again
(joint angle expected to be over 360 degrees)
2
Q
what should the filter frequency be for simi
A
12 Hz
3
Q
What is a limitation of the flight time method
A
only takes into account the duration of the flight
might be affected by the knee angle when landing - knee slightly flexed which increases flight duration
4
Q
what is the vertical velocity at peak height
A
0
5
Q
what is a force platform
A
rectangular metal plate with piezo electric or strain gauge transducers on each corner
6
Q
what is newtons 3rd law in relation to force plates
A
platform measures force exerted on it which also fives the force exerted by the platform
