Abstract:

Leg swing in human walking has historically been viewed as a passive motion with little metabolic cost. Recent estimates of leg swing costs are equivocal, covering a range from 10 to 33 per cent of the net cost of walking. There has also been a debate as to whether the periods of double-limb support during the stance phase dominate the cost of walking. Part of this uncertainty is because of our inability to measure metabolic energy consumption in individual muscles during locomotion. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the metabolic cost of walking using a modelling approac

Abstract:

Stability is an important concern during human walking and can limit mobility in clinical populations. Mediolateral stability can be efficiently controlled through appropriate foot placement, although the underlying neuromechanical strategy is unclear. We hypothesized that humans control mediolateral foot placement through swing leg muscle activity, basing this control on the mechanical state of the contralateral stance leg. Participants walked under Unperturbed and Perturbed conditions, in which foot placement was intermittently perturbed by moving the right leg medially or laterally during t

Abstract:

Active control of the mediolateral location of the feet is an important component of a stable bipedal walking pattern, although the roles of sensory feedback in this process are unclear. In the present experiments, we tested whether hip abductor proprioception influenced the control of mediolateral gait motion. Participants performed a series of quiet standing and treadmill walking trials. In some trials, 80-Hz vibration was applied intermittently over the right gluteus medius (GM) to evoke artificial proprioceptive feedback. During walking, the GM was vibrated during either right leg stance (

Abstract:

For human walking, the swing leg is usually modeled as a double pendulum. Considering a joint self-impact constraint at the knee joint of the double pendulum model is the main difference in this study. The primary objective of this research is to propose a nonlinear Adaptive Neural Network (ANN) for this system. By using Gaussian RBF networks, asymptotically stable tracking is attained. We will use the available data of normal human walking for the desired trajectories of the hip and knee joints. By simulation of the system, we perceive that the swing leg tracks the normal human gait with a ne

In this study, we investigated the responses to tread perturbations during human stepping on a treadmill. Our approach was to test the effects of perturbations to a single leg using a split-belt treadmill in healthy participants and in participants with varying severity of spinal cord injury (SCI). We recruited 11 people with incomplete SCI and 5 noninjured participants. As participants walked on an instrumented treadmill, the belt on one side was stopped or accelerated briefly during midstance to late stance. A majority of participants initiated an unnecessary swing when the treadmill was sto

During an acute outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) from September 2020 onwards, German authorities were under increasing pressure to restore the disease-free status of the country and consequently lift the export restrictions placed on German pig farmers. This led to the proliferation of a continuously expanding network of material barriers in the German borderlands. Drawing on

This work will present early results for a medical exoskeleton that only has actuation that powers the flexion and extension of the biological hip.

We selected a design that relied solely on material elasticity to store and release energy during the stance phase of running. The exoskeleton included a novel knee joint with a cam and a Bowden cable transferring energy to and from a waist-mounted extension spring. We used a friction-lock clutch controlled by hip angle via a pneumatic cylinder to release the cable during swing phase for free movement of the leg. The design also incorp

Specifically, it is observed how the elasticity of the shoe, the leg configuration, and the muscular flexibility of the joints affect the joint impact forces.
