Abstract :
This document presents a mathematical and experimental analysis by the Lagrange equations and with a electrogoniometer, which allows us to obtain the trajectories realized by the knee, by the angular displacing between: hip, knee and ankle; with this and applying mathematical concepts, it is possible to determine the torque applied to the knee while getting up.
