Mechanical Advantage

Mechanical advantage, or the numerical values from lever system analysis, demonstrates valuable information of human movement such as strength, endurance and site of injury.

 

 

 

Mechanical Advantage is determined by three factors:

  1. Total forces of effort which include the force of effort and active forces necessary for shear stabilization.

  2. Total forces created which include all compressive and shear forces (both magnitude and direction) created by the force of effort and from any active forces of shear stabilization.

  3. Total anatomical parts used:  Through mathematical analysis, all human parts (muscle and joints) necessary to put lever systems into equilibrium are revealed.

 

We compare the mechanical advantage of the spine involved in a movement between individuals with different neutral spinal postures.  We then demonstrate mathematically who would win the contest of strength.
