Assessment of Dynamic Stability During Walking in Below-knee Amputation
Purpose: Dynamic stability reduces in patients with unilateral amputation; so, it is important to recognize changes in balance during walking. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic stability of unilateral below-knee amputation during walking. Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study, in which 10 patients with knee amputation and 10 healthy young people participated. The ...
متن کاملFrom Passive Dynamic Walking to Passive Turning of Biped walker
Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...
متن کاملPassive Dynamic Stability in Human Walking
INTRODUCTION As shown by McGeer (1990), the passive dynamics of the legs are sufficient to walk down a gentle slope with no external control, and no external energy input save from gravity. Here we consider different models based on passive dynamics, including actively powered models that still make use of passive dynamic principles. We consider the stability of these models, and the implicatio...
متن کاملOrbital Stability of Passive Dynamic Walking on a Bumpy Surface
Passive dynamic walkers (PDWs) can walk down shallow slopes with no motors or feedback controllers, using gravity as their only source of power input into the system. These systems have been used to examine the stability of human locomotion. The orbital stability of these systems under “ideal” conditions has been well established (Goswami 1997). However, like humans, these PDWs can fall over if...
متن کاملPassive Dynamic Walking Analysis
There are an estimated 1.7 million Americans living with limb loss; further, spinal cord injuries afflict 250,000 Americans [1]. Many patients lose their jobs and their quality of life plummets. Fortunately there have been significant advancements in the design of prosthetic limbs in the last few decades. A noteworthy achievement is the direct integration of a prosthetic device with the brain, ...
