… Due to decerebrate rigidity, the forelimbs were capable of supporting the cat’s trunk and head.
To … flexor and contralateral extensor phases were coupled, each having a 50% duty cycle. …

… with load during the eccentric knee flexion period from heel-strike until mid-… flexion and a
more forward leaning trunk. An initial propulsive impulse at heel-strike resulted from flexion at …

… Noticeably absent from the group of muscles that increased energy use during trunk loading
… , but flexor actions at the knee. We concluded that the low energetic cost of carrying trunk …

… Mean values of RMS between 0 and 360 were calculated for each subject using data from
10 consecutive duty cycles at each workload while using both crank strategies. Individual …

… degrees of freedom including flexion/extension at the hip, knee, ankle, mid-foot and toes
of each leg, and horizontal and vertical translation and pitch rotation at the trunk. Foot-ground …

… The forward flexion of the trunk was to provide the postural balance before leaving the seat.
In the FES-induced standing up the legs could participate partly in the movement dynamics, …

… a duty cycle of 0 % (fully closed) locked the knee, a duty cycle of 100 % (fully opened) unlocked
the knee, and varying duty cycles … trunk lean and hip flexion. Subjects were able to adjust …

… trunk flexion angle in studies of repetitive lifting of lower weights ( 7,8,14,33 ) ranged from

for 34.03% of the OPD cycle time and 4.75% of this cycle time was spent in severe trunk flexion. …

… trunk flexion). The different tasks used in each study may explain the discrepant findings.
However, the slight increases in each muscle's activity may be a sign of increased co-activation …
