ABSTRACT:
Resultant joint moments are an important variable with which to examine human movement, but the uncertainty with which resultant joint moments are calculated is often ignored. This paper presents a procedure for examining the uncertainty with which resultant joint moments are calculated. The uncertainty was calculated by changing the parameters and variables required to compute the resultant joint moments, by amount relating to their estimated uncertainties, and then quantifying the resulting change in the resultant joint moments. The procedure was applied to the elbow joint during loaded elbow flexion executed at maximum volitional speed. For this activity, the estimated moments were most sensitive to uncertainties in the derivatives of the position data. A number of other sources of error and uncertainty were idenfitied which warrant further investigation. The protocols outlined in this study are applicable to other activities.
