Influences of Speed and Treadmill Inclination on the Local Dynamic Stability of Human Knee Joint

Abstract:

In this paper finite-time Lyapunov exponents (LE) were estimated to quantify the local dynamic stability from the experimental time series of the flexion-extension angle of single subject knee joints, walking over-ground and on plane and inclined treadmill with different speeds and inclinations.
