THE CHOICE OF REFERENCE POINT FOR COMPUTING SAGITTAL PLANE ANGULAR MOMENTUM AFFECTS INFERENCES ABOUT DYNAMIC BALANCE

The choice of reference point for computing sagittal plane angular momentum affects inferences about dynamic balance

Background Measures of whole-body angular momentum in the sagittal plane are commonly used to characterize dynamic balance during human walking.To compute angular momentum, one must specify a reference point about which momentum is calculated.Although biomechanists primarily compute angular momentum about the center of mass (CoM), momentum-based co

Global control of reaction wheel pendulum through energy regulation and extended linearization of the state variables

This paper presents the design and simulation of a global controller for the Reaction Wheel Pendulum system using energy regulation and extended linearization methods for the state feedback.The proposed energy regulation is based on the gradual reduction of the energy of the system to reach the unstable equilibrium OREGANO OIL point.The signal inpu
