Using our preliminary data from Problem 8.1above, we were able to land a small grant and have used the money to purchase a force plate. With our improved experimental set-up we can now measure the horizontal (fore-aft) and vertical ground reaction forces during the sit-to-stand motion. Also, our video system remains operational, and we shall continue to record the time history of the angular displacements of the shank, thigh, and trunk.
