Simulating reactive/passive postures by means of a human active torque hybrid minimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a hybrid approach minimizing the active torque produced by muscles groups at the joint level. The proposed approach is hybrid in the sense that it combines the local knowledge of the external torque induced by external forces such as gravity and exerted force, and the full knowledge of the passive-resistive torque characteristics due to ligaments and connective tissues. The algorithm is exploited within a context of posture adjustment when a muscle group reaches a critical fatigue level. It proposes a target joint state that can be characterized as active or passive. The active solution, if it exists, can be further characterized by a desired degree of active torque amplitude reduction (between 0 and 100%). In any cases at least one passive solution exists; it relies on the passive/resistive torque appearing in the neighbourhood of the joint limits.

Thyristor rectifiers are widely used in electric railways in order to control the speed. As a consequence of their usage in addition to substantial input lead current, an enormous amount of harmonics is injected into the grid. To avoid such harmonics as well as reactive power compensation, reactive power hybrid filters consisting of active and passive filters are utilized. Regarding different p...

In the computerized generation of human poses, it is important to take into account not only the active component of the torque, but also the ligaments and connective tissues which produce a passive torque at the limits of the joint range of motion. We present a fatigue model in which both active and passive torque components are essential parameters integrated in an inverse kinematics animatio...

Background: Sports injuries of the knee joint are very common. There are both contact injuries and non-contact injuries. Contractile injuries may be due to an impairment of the knee joint position sense or a decrease of the quadriceps muscle strength. Using a Kinesio taping method may decrease this impairment. The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of direction and tension of Kin...
