Passive and Active Resistive Force Characteristics in Major Human Joints

  • Chapter
Biomechanics of Normal and Pathological Human Articulating Joints

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 93))

Abstract

Effectiveness of the multi-segmented total-human-body models to predict realistically live human response depends heavily on the proper biomechanical description and simulation of the major articulating joints of the body. Short time transient response of the multi-segmented models requires proper characterization of the passive resistive force and moment data in articulating joints. Simulation of biodynamic events lasting more than a fraction of a second will also require the incorporation of active muscles into the multi-segmented models and constitute long-time response of the model.
