Abstract

Until now, output force distribution characteristics in human limbs have been discussed based on joint torque. Furthermore, a measurement method of joint torque was prescribed in detail, and measured value is shown as database to the public. However, in another precedent study, the relationship between output force distribution and muscular strength in human limbs was demonstrated under the theoretical back ground of the coordination of mono-articular muscles and bi-articular muscles, and it was showed experimentally that a method by joint torque was not suitable. In this study, the relationship between output force distribution and joint torque was made clear more.
