Hello fellow BIOMCH-Lers:
I am an Ergonomics Research Assistant at the University of Waterloo and
would really appreciate your help with an issue.
I am looking for static joint moment strength data to compare with
calculated values from a static biomechanical model used to assess
industrial tasks.
I need gender- and relative joint angle- specific maximum flexor and
extensor moment values for the elbow, shoulder, back, hip, knee and
ankle joints. Either age-specific or data representing the 20-65 yr old
working population would be appreciated.
I am surprised by the lack of such information in the literature and am
wondering if anyone knows of either published or unpublished (thesis)
papers or databases of information. I have included a list of references
that I already have, for your reference. Thank you in advance for any
help that you can provide. I will post all responses.
