Contents
The aim of this lecture is to teach methods of gait analysis and simulation. Gait analysis experiments will be covered, as well as more modern approaches to gather walking data. Techniques to process gait analysis experiments are discussed, as well as dynamic models that can be used to create gait simulations. This lecture addresses the following topics:
  • Measurement systems for gait analysis

  • Methods to calculate joint kinetics and kinematics from experimental data

  • Muscle biology, specific to force generation, and modelling of muscles

  • Methods to calculate muscle activation from experimental data

  • Energetics of walking

  • Multibody dynamics

  • Creating simulations of gait
