Imposed Loads Motion - Inertia Joint Torques Joint Compression Joint Shear
Internal Torque
The External Torque and intended direction of motion determine the Internal Torque
External Torque
If External Torque = Internal Torque Equilibrium If External Torque > Internal Torque Trunk Flexion If Internal Torque > External Torque Trunk Extension
External Torque
Load - magnitude Position of Load Upper Body Mass Position of Upper Body Inertia
Body Mass = 150 # HAT = 60 % of BM Load = 50 # Trunk Angle = 60 deg Moment Arm = 1.2
External Torque
Torque = (Total Load) * (cosine of Slope * Moment Arm)

How hard do the extensor muscle have to work to produce the needed internal torque ????
Internal Torque
External Torque
84 ft-lbs = .15 * Muscle Force Muscle Force = 84 ft-lbs / .15 Muscle Force = 560 lbs
