Active Leg Compliance for Passive Walking
Previous research has shown that passive (or ballistic) walking is an energetic efficient and mechanical cheap way of walking. Therefore ballistic walking would be suitable for apphcauons in rehabilitation technology and autonomous robots. Successful application would require a smooth hip trajectory in ordet to protect respectively the patient or electronics against large velocity changes due t...
متن کاملA determinant of the leg swing trajectory during walking
When we walk, there are infinite number of possible trajectories for leg swing. How does the brain design the trajectory? As a candidate for the strategy of the trajectory selection, we assessed the criterion of the minimization of the energy cost in this study. We computed the optimal leg trajectory that minimizes the energy cost during the swing phase under the boundary condition that enables...
متن کاملImpulsive ankle push-off powers leg swing in human walking.
Rapid unloading and a peak in power output of the ankle joint have been widely observed during push-off in human walking. Model-based studies hypothesize that this push-off causes redirection of the body center of mass just before touch-down of the leading leg. Other research suggests that work done by the ankle extensors provides kinetic energy for the initiation of swing. Also, muscle work is...
متن کاملSynthesis of natural arm swing motion in human bipedal walking.
It has historically been believed that the role of arm motion during walking is related to balancing. Arm motion during natural walking is distinguished in that each arm swing is with the motion of the opposing leg. Although this arm swing motion is generated naturally during bipedal walking, it is interesting to note that the arm swing motion is not necessary for stable walking. This paper att...
متن کاملPassive Controller Design for Swing Phase of a Single Axis Above-Knee Prosthesis
In this research we design a passive controller for an above knee prosthesis. The controller is a linear spring and damper for swing phase motion, parameters of which determined via optimization of adjustment of the prosthesis shank motion with a desired shank angle trajectory comes from experimental data. In this way, we exerted a certain thigh motion, hip movement included, into the system as...
