Technical Details

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

Description

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

Use Cases

  • Twist kinematic sequence and energy transfer
  • Arm contribution to serve
  • Comparison with peak torso and forearm twist velocities
