Common modelling assumptions affect the joint moments measured during passive joint mobilizations.

ABSTRACT: Joint resistance to passive mobilization has already been estimated in-vivo in several studies by measuring the applied forces and moments while manipulating the joint. Nevertheless, in most of the studies, simplified modelling approaches are used to calculate this joint resistance. The impact of these simplifications is still unknown. We propose a protocol that enables a reference 3D inverse dynamics approach to be implemented and compared to common simplified approaches. Eight typically developed children and eight children with cerebral palsy were recruited and underwent a passive testing protocol, while applied forces and moments were measured through a 3D handheld dynamometer, simultaneously to its 3D kinematics and the 3D kinematics of the different segments. Then, passive joint resi
