Is stability an unstable concept? Quantifying dynamic stability of human locomotion SUMARY

چکیده
The objective of the work presented in this thesis was to evaluate and develop methods for the assessment of dynamic gait stability, and to employ these methods to examine the effects of walking speed and arm swing on gait stability. In doing so, the first experimental studies of this thesis focused on measures that may be derived from steady state (i.e. unperturbed) walking, while the last experimental study focused on measures derived from actual perturbations of the gait pattern.

متن کاملDynamic Stability Analysis of a Beam Excited by a Sequence of Moving Mass Particles
In this paper, the dynamic stability analysis of a simply supported beam carrying a sequence of moving masses is investigated. Many applications such as motion of vehicles or trains on bridges, cranes transporting loads along their span, fluid transfer pipe systems and the barrel of different weapons can be represented as a flexible beam carrying moving masses. The periodical traverse of masses...
متن کاملDynamical stability of cantilevered pipe conveying fluid in the presence of linear dynamic vibration absorber
When the velocity of fluid flow in a cantilevered pipe is successively increased, the system may become unstable and flutter instability would occur at a critical flow velocity. This paper is concerned with exploring the dynamical stability of a cantilevered fluid-conveying pipe with an additional linear dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) attachment. It is endeavoured to show that the stability o...
متن کاملFuzzy Lyapunov stability and exponential stability in control systems
Fuzzy control systems have had various applications in a wide range of science and engineering in recent years. Since an unstable control system is typically useless and potentially dangerous, stability is the most important requirement for any control system (including fuzzy control system). Conceptually, there are two types of stability for control systems: Lyapunov stability (a special case ...
متن کاملQuantifying foot placement variability and dynamic stability of movement to assess control mechanisms during forward and lateral running.
Research has indicated that human walking is more unstable in the secondary, rather than primary plane of progression. However, the mechanisms of controlling dynamic stability in different planes of progression during running remain unknown. The aim of this study was to compare variability (standard deviation and coefficient of variation) and dynamic stability (sample entropy and local divergen...
