Week 8 Flashcards
What is the normal range for impact peak in GRF during running
1.5 - 2 BWs
What is the normal range for active peak in GRF during running
2 - 3 BWs
What is the normal range for loading rate in GRF during running
50 - 100 BWs/sec
What is a moment
Moment or moment of force are a synonym for torque
What is torque
The ability of a force to cause rotation about an axis
What is a joint moment
ability of a force either internal or external to cause rotation about a joint
Equation of torque is
Moment arm x Force
How can we tell how much force or torque is acting on each joint (how can we measure it)
Embed Force Sensor - direct
Inverse dynamics - indirect
Embed force sensor is usually used on
Amputee population
Inverse dynamics is
An indirect estimation of force and torque acting on a joint based on several measurements
What do we need to collect from inverse dynamics
Kinematics of each segments
Ground reaction forces
Anthropometrics of each segment
Receiving Kinematics of each segments involves finding the (Inverse dynamics)
Position
Velocity
Acceleration
Receiving Ground reaction forces involves finding the (Inverse dynamics)
Anterior/posterior
Medial/lateral
Vertical
Receiving Anthropometrics of each segment involves finding the (Inverse dynamics)
Length
Mass
Center of mass location
Moment of inertia
How would you get mass / COM location for each segment
Use table of values based on cadaveric studies from research study
Then:
- Look at definition of body segment
- Segment weight compared to body weight as %
- Look at center of gravity from proximal end
What is mass
A quantity expressing a bodys tendency to resist LINEAR acceleration
What is moment of inertia
A quantity expressing a bodys tendency to resist ANGULAR acceleration
