Increasing the stability of the spring loaded inverted pendulum model of running with a wobbling mass

Human running can be simulated using a simple model called the spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP). The SLIP predicts some aspects of including self-stabilizing properties running. In human locomotion energy is dissipated due to passive motion soft tissue. However, little known about effects this dissipation on dynamics This study utilizes with an additional spring-mass-damper system wobbling mass It was found that increased and its robustness perturbations. suggests increasing stability one during
