앉은 자세에서의 페달설계를 위한 생체역학 모델의 개발

A two-dimensional static biomechanical model of lower extremity in the seated posture was developed to assess muscular activities of lower extremity required for a variety of foot pedal operations. Muscle forces of the model were predicted using the double linear optimization scheme. For the model validation, three subjects performed the experiments which measured EMG activities of six lower extremity muscles. Predicted muscle forces were compared with the corresponding rectified intergrated EMG amplitudes and it showed reasonable results.
