Human knee dynamic torque measurement

Human knee dynamic torque measurement

Human knee dynamic torque measurement

(OP)
Dear All,
I would like to know if there is another method (direct method) to measure human knee and hip kinetics and torque instead of using inverse dynamics in gait analysis lab.
Best regards,

RE: Human knee dynamic torque measurement

You mean in vivo? I read a paper today from 1983 explaining techniques of instrumentation (i.e. strain gauges) used on patients to measure forces and displacements, so I am sure there is something out there.

I don't mean in vivo. Is there an external exoskeleton to measure human knee and hip kinetics and torque.

RE: Human knee dynamic torque measurement

If you explain what you are trying to do and why inverse dynamics are not appropriate you might get more help.
