Effect of Step Length and Step Period on Walking Speed and Energy Consumption: a Parameter Study

Authors

Abstract:

Stability and performance are two main issues in motion of bipeds. To ensure stability of motion, a biped needs to follow specific pattern to comply with a stability criterion such as zero moment point. However, there are infinity many patterns of motion which ensure stability, so one might think of achieving better performance by choosing proper parameters of motion. Step length and step period are among major parameters through which we control our motion. Change of these parameters results in change in pattern of motion and consequently affects major characteristics of motion such as stability, speed and energy consumption. In this paper we used genetic algorithm for stable path planning for motion with different values of step length and step period. Considering actuators limit, feasible domain of motion is found. Then maximum feasible speed and consumed power is calculated and reported.

Walking speed and step length asymmetry modify the energy cost of walking after stroke.

BACKGROUND A higher energy cost of walking poststroke has been linked to reduced walking performance and reduced participation in the community. OBJECTIVE To determine the contribution of postintervention improvements in walking speed and spatiotemporal gait asymmetry to the reduction in the energy cost of walking after stroke. METHODS In all, 42 individuals with chronic hemiparesis (>6 mon...

a head parameter survey on mazandarani dialect and its effect(s) on learning english from ca perspective (on the basis of x-bar syntax)1

there has been a gradual shift of focus from the study of rule systems, which have increasingly been regarded as impoverished, … to the study of systems of principles, which appear to occupy a much more central position in determining the character and variety of possible human languages. there is a set of absolute universals, notions and principles existing in ug which do not vary from one ...
