ORIGINAL MESSAGE TO BIOMECH-L
Currently I am conducting a project to measure hip flexion strength. In
my design, hip flexion torque will be measured at a seated posture. I am
interested to know if anybody know any related literature regarding the
effects of posture on hip flexion torque? Thanks in advance. I will
post a summary of all responses.
SUMMARY
Isometric hip flexion torque is significantly affected by hip and knee
angles. As indicated by Inman et al. (1981), hip flexion torque is twice
as much when hip flexion is about 30 degrees comparing to that of 90-degree
hip flexion.
