    Schematic representation of the 2 TIP models employed for the description of STS: TIP1 (left), before seat unloading; and TIP2 (right), after seat-off. The sign convention for the actuators is also indicated. Abbreviations: FA, frontal actuator; HAT, head-arms-torso; LA, linear actuator; SA, sagittal actuator; WB, whole body.

    Frontal actuator maximum rotations, representing (A) the HAT (φFA1) and (B) the whole body (φFA1) movements, are reported as a function of the strength scores recorded for each subject. These values have been reported for both normal speed (NS) and maximum speed (MS) trials.
