The Biodex 3 System Pro was used to collect the experimental data. Right leg extension motion parameters were measured 10 times. The experiment lasted three days, with 1-hour break to rest between tests. The foot extension parameters were: maximum torque 104.38 ± 2.18 Nm, the time to peak torque 436 ± 2.6 ms, motion duration 1000 ± 2.5 ms. The torque values were measured using monitor. It was shown that it is appropriate to use the sixth-order polynomial to approximate the torque versus time curve. Polynomial coefficients with no less 16 significant digits should be used in calculations. Experimental and computational data are presented.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eie.22.5.16342">http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eie.22.5.16342</a></p> ER -
