Q

how do they measure this

A
  • Convert energy from one form to another
  • In our case: mechanical to electrical
  • We cannot “measure” force, but we can measure strain as a
    change in electrical resistance

Q

Strain Gauge

A
  • change their resistance as they are stretched or compressed
  • to measure a desired change, there is a velocity drop acroos the strain gauge for a given level of force.
  • uses differing sensors in different locations to determine CoP

Q

CoP

A

All ground reaction forces
can be replaced by a single force acting
at a single point. This point is called
the center of pressure.

Q

how is voltage used to determine CoP in force plates

A

the force plates outputs the voltages proportional to forces, then coverted while accounting for amplifier gains and plate sensitivites. The forces are then used to calculate where the CoP is

Q

why are degrees of freedom important

A
  1. Understanding Movement: Knowing the degrees of freedom helps us understand how joints and bodily systems move and what
    limitations they may have.

2.Modeling and Simulation: In computational biomechanics, degrees of freedom are essential parameters for creating accurate
models of human movement.

3.Injury Prevention: By understanding the limitations of a joint’s degrees of freedom, healthcare professionals can better prescribe
treatments or preventative measures for potential injuries.

4.Prosthesis Design: Engineers use the concept to design more efficient and functional prosthetic limbs that mimic the natural degrees of freedom as closely as possible.

Q

Global vs Local coordinate system

A
  • For global the rotation is performed concerning the global coordinate system whilst local concerns the local.
  • in global, the axes of rotation are fixed and do not change as the object rotates, in local the axes is fixed to the object.
  • A global Z-axis rotation means that no matter the current orientation of the object, the rotation will be around the fixed global Z-axis. In local it will rotate around its own z axis

Q

Definition of Inertia

A

the tendency of an object to maintain its state of rest or uniform motion, the resistance to change in motion of an object. The more mass the more inertia, the more resistance

Q

Parallel axis theorem

A

if the mass moment of inertia about an axis passing through the center of gravity is known, the moment of inertia about a second, parallel axis is given by

I_pat = I_cg +M_t(R_cg)^2

I_cg = MOI about axis through cg
m_t = total mass of the object
R_cg = perpendicular distance between the axes

Q

Momentum

A

tendency to resist changes in the existing state of motion, only applies to moving ibjects, while inertia applies to moving and stationary

force is a change in momentum and time

p=mv
L=Iw

19
Q

impulse momentum principle

A

F * delta(t) = delta(p)

20
Q

Energy

A

kinetic = (1/2)mv^2
potential = mgh

21
Q

work energy principle

A

SUM(Fd)=(1/2)mv^2b-(1/2)mv^2a

22
Q

What is the instantaneous centre of zero velocity

A

when a body is moving there is a point where its velocity is zero for a moment, that point is not always attached to the body, seems to spin about that point

23
Q

how to find IC

A

velocity mag is proportional to relative distance, therefore we can use velocity being perp to relative distance. Draw lines perp to velocity, where they intersect is the IC.

v_a/r_a,ic = v_b/r_b,ic

24
Q

A
  • Force Platforms are built either into (AMTI) or under (Bertec) the treadmill
