Abstract:
Strength prediction for arbitrary postures presupposes correlations between joint angles and joint torques due to the length -- tension relationship of muscles. This paper investigates isometric elbow flexion and extension joint torque curves as a function of elbow flexion, shoulder flexion, and forearm rotation. Numerous authors have already examined elbow joint torque functions. However either only young or male subjects or old subjects with a high sample size but only one measurement posture...     »
