Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: degrees/second (°/s)
  • Column Name: trunk_peak_twist_angular_velocity
  • Measurement: Peak twist (like a tornado) angular velocity of the torso

Description

Peak torso twist angular velocity is the maximum twist angular velocity of the torso in the transverse plane (like a tornado). It is part of the Twist Kinematic Sequence (torso-upper_arm-forearm), reflecting trunk contribution to the kinetic chain.

Use Cases

  • Twist kinematic sequence and energy transfer
  • Trunk contribution to serve
  • Comparison with peak pelvis and upper arm twist velocities
