A Method to Measure Stiffness During Human Movements Human movements are generally stable due to the spring-like property of muscles. However, movements can become unstable when the limbs interact with the environment, e.g., when one lifts a weight overhead, or carves. The stiffness measured at the endpoint of the limb is indicative of this stability. I have developed a method to measure stiffn...
