| Research Abstract |
To quantify the maximum joint torque of the upper limb during multi-joint movement, a measurement system was developed that can generate multi-joint movements resembling those in daily life motion. The maximum joint torque characteristics of the upper limb, which has seven degrees of freedom, were calculated from upper limb movement and hand force using inverse dynamics equations. To assess practical application of the proposed methods, adaptability between the user and the wheelchair was evaluated using indices of physical load, joint torque, muscular tension, energy consumption, oxygen uptake, and salivary amylase activity.
