Human Leg Model: Details

Knee Forces

Directly measure the force needed to support the leg at various angles.

Leg Model

The articulated leg uses a rubber band (not included) as the quadriceps muscle and has a Load Cell on the foot to
measure the force that the “toe” exerts on the ball. The impulse (area under the curve of force versus time) is
equal to the resulting momentum of the ball.

The Load Cell represents

the quadricep muscle in

the upper leg.
