dc.description.abstract | Responses of 11 young adult males, initially standing, to support surface forward accelerations of 0.18 g were investigated. In response to the impending falls this stimulus initiated, body segment motions and myoelectric activities in six muscles were measured. These measurements were then input to 9 or 12 segment whole body biomechanical models and the reaction joint torques needed to produce the motions were calculated.Mean relative joint rotations were as large as 92.8[deg] and calculated relative joint angular accelerations as large as 29.7 rad s-2. Mean myoelectric signal latencies in the six muscles monitored ranged from 135 ms at the ankles to 176 ms at the shoulders with intermediate values at intermediate joints. Mean values of calculated maximum joint torques ranged to 70 Nm at the ankles, 82 Nm at the knees, 73 Nm at the hips, and 19 Nm at the shoulders. | en_US |
