Popis: A mathematical model for the analysis of human motion is presented in this paper. This model is based on linkage dynamics in order to understand trajectory and internal moment of force coordination. Mobility at the base of the supporting limb is a critical factor in the freedom to fall forward. The approach used to state a coupled system of differential equations of motion consists in introducing the displacement of the center of mass together with the displacement of each segment of the body and to evaluate the final system as a whole. The resultant methodology is task independent. The main goal of this study is to assist the work of health care professionals in the determination of the torques at the joints generated to maintain the movement. The evaluation of a weighted average of all the forces has served as a basis for other authors to obtain the center of pressure. In this work, the resultant ground reaction force passes through the center of mass of the body system enabling the calculation of the location of this force.
