The dynamics of joint mechanics are a fundamental characteristic of the motor system. They determine the displacements evoked by perturbing forces during postural control and the forces that must be generated to perform a voluntary movement. This article reviews experimental studies of these dynamics, with an emphasis on the behavior of single joints in alert humans. Technical aspects of the experimental and analytic methods that have been used are summarized first. Major results obtained with the different methods are then reviewed, compared, and contrasted. The interpretation of these results in terms of the underlying physiological mechanisms is then considered, with an emphasis on the relative contributions of passive properties of tissue, the mechanical behavior of muscle, and stretch reflexes. Finally, important unanswered questions regarding the dynamics of joint mechanics are reviewed.
