This study introduces a novel simulation method for weakened human gait using an enhanced inverted pendulum model. The approach efficiently calculates pathological gait parameters, showing similarities to patient data.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Robotics
  • Human Motion Simulation

Background:

  • Simulating human gait, especially with muscle weakness, is complex.
  • Existing models may require extensive parameters and computation time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient method for simulating human gait with weakened muscles.
  • To analyze the effects of specific muscle weakening on gait parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing an enhanced 3D linear inverted pendulum model.
  • Generating normal gait by defining initial posture and center of mass/angular momentum trajectories.
  • Minimizing an objective function based on muscle force to calculate pathological gait parameters.

Main Results:
