Paul et al,
Isokenetic and inverse dynamic models are based on limbs as levers and pulleys.
It could be that the block and tackle paradigm is wrong and we are not a series
of levers and pulleys. See Ingber, 'The Architecture of Life', Scientific
American, January 1998 in
which he proposes that life structures are 'tensegrity' structures with no
levers. As example: where is the fulcrum in the shoulder girdle as it connects
to the axial skeleton?
