Standing cable hip abduction

Standing on the right leg holding a post, a cable cuffed to the left ankle; the left leg lifts out to the side to about 35°. Cable force is not modelled.

Load and joint demand

Machine or cable load (10 kg at this setting) is not modelled, so joint demand shows the body only.

No gravity-based joint demand to show for this exercise.

Faults

Faults grow with knee bend and apply to lifts standing on the floor. The fault check flags a knee caving more than 10° inside the line of the toes and a load split beyond 60/40. Knee cave shows best in the front camera.

Body

Femur changes keep standing height fixed by shortening or lengthening the torso. Longer femurs force more forward lean in any squat.

Effort and your quota

3/10 effort3.1fatigue per set

Your quota per set: 10 reps at 10 kg, stopping 2 reps short of failure.

One hard set earns 100 legs points.

Prime movers

Gluteus medius and minimus.

What to look for

  • Stay tall; do not lean away from the moving leg.
  • Front camera shows the movement.
How the model works, and its limits

One 3D skeleton drives both views. Segment lengths and widths are Winter's anthropometric ratios of height; segment masses and centre-of-mass positions follow Dempster's data. For free-standing lifts the whole-body angle is found numerically so the combined centre of mass of lifter and load sits over the middle of the foot. Arms and legs use two-link inverse kinematics with a pole direction. Rep timing follows a minimum-jerk profile.

Balance is quasi-static, so ballistic lifts are shown slowed down. Cable pull and pad support forces are not modelled. The spine is one rigid segment and joints have no range-of-motion limits or muscle forces.
