  1. 1. Ground Reaction Force Prediction during Weighted Leg Press and Weighted Squat in a Flywheel Exercise Device

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Tobias Munkhammar; [2017]
    Keywords : Ground reaction force prediction; musculoskeletal model; validation; leg press; squat; biomechanical analysis; pressure sensitive insoles; flywheel exercise device;

    Abstract : When performing a biomechanical analysis of human movement, knowledge about the ground reaction force (GRF) is necessary to compute forces and moments within joints. This is important when analysing a movement and its effect on the human body. READ MORE
