A modelling approach to the dynamics of gait initiation

摘要: Gait initiation is an integral and complex part of human locomotion. In this paper, we present a novel compliant-leg model-based approach to understanding the key phases initiation, nature effective forces involved in importance anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs). The results demonstrate that presence APAs, observe change characteristic forcing required for energetic cost gait also reduced by approximately 58%. APAs result biologically relevant leg landing angles trajectories motion. Furthermore, find sublinear functional relationship with velocity error from steady state predicts force, consistent open loop control law basis initiation.
