1039 Motor Evaluation System for the Lower Limb Using a Sensor Ergometer and a Musculoskeletal Model
Details
The purpose of this study is to develop a motor evaluation system for the lower limb using a sensor ergometer and a musculoskeletal model with the prospect that the system is used in rehabilitation and in general exercise institutions. To estimate joint angles from the pedal position, an inverse kinematics model was constructed, and the validity was investigated by comparing these values with those from a motion capture system. The muscle forces calculated from the musculoskeletal model were also compared with the filtered EMG patterns. The results of this study indicated that the developed system could fully evaluate motion in the lower limb.
