A person is sitting with one leg outstretched and stationary, so that it makes an angle...
A person is doing leg flexion/extension exercises from a sitting position in order to strengthen the person's quadracept muscles. The forces acting in the lower leg are illustrated in the figures below. W0 is the weight of the boot, W1 = 160 N is the weight of the person's lower leg, FM is the magnitude of the force exerted by the quadricepts muscle on the tibia (shinbone) through the patellar tendon, and FJ is the force due to the tibiofemoral...
John sitting on a table performs knee extensions with his right leg hanging over the edge and a 12 kg weight attached to the right ankle. The mass of his right shank is 4 kg and the length of the shank is 0.47 m. The moment arm of the quadriceps is 0.05 m and the center of gravity of the shank is in the middle. When the knee is fully extended (i.e. the shank is horizontal), what is the muscle...
PROBLEM 2 Knee Extension - The angular motion of the lower leg about the knee joint, and the forces and torques produced by the muscles crossing the knee joint during knee flexions and extensions have been investigated by a number of researchers utilizing different experimental techniques. One of these techniques is discussed here. Consider the person illustrated in Fig. 10.12. The test subject is sitting on a table, with the back placed against a back rest and the lower legs...
