Output force distribution characteristics of limbs by coordination of mono-articular and Bi-articular muscles - Measuring method of output force distribution characteristics using joint torque

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 the relationship between output force distribution and joint torque was made clear more. In this study, under the theoretical back ground of the coordination of mono-articular muscles and bi-articular muscles, new simple measuring method of output force distribution characteristics using joint torque was proposed and its validity was discussed.
