Joint moment–angle/velocity relations in the hip, knee, and ankle: A meta-visualization of datasets

Joint moment is a prominent kinetic property in biomechanical investigations, whose pattern and magnitude reflect many characteristics of musculoskeletal motion and musculotendon biomechanics. Nonetheless, the relations of joint moment with joint angle and velocity are complicated, and it is often unclear how the kinetic capacity of each joint varies in different configurations. With common techniques in systematic review, we collected a total of 962 passive, isometric and isokinetic joint moment datasets based on human in vivo measurements from literature and visualized the major joint moment–angle and moment–velocity relations in the hip, knee, and ankle. The findings contribute to the analysis of musculoskeletal mechanics and providing reference regarding the experimental design for future moment measurement.     «
