Abstract

A method and apparatus for characterizing contributions of forces associated with a body part of a subject when the body part is involved in movement is provided. The method includes causing movement of the body part in a prescribed manner (401) and monitoring quantities related to at least one of displacement of the body part and external force on the body part (402). At least one quantity related to a force contribution associated with the body part is determined from the quantities measured (403).
