Observer design for the human chest

In this paper has been applied a scheme for realization of active control strategy with numerically estimated linear optimal quadratic index of performance in reduction ofimpact-induced deformation of human chest loaded by a point mass at the central point of upper-torso body. We focused onapplication of one active element attached between torsos upper back (looking from posterior direction) and a fixed support. Inthis paper designed an observer for the human chest.The resulting shape of control force time-characteristics that would be the demanding one for a hypothetical real implementation.
