Abstract: Dynamic mechanical models of the double limb support phase of human gait were developed for both two-dimensional (sagittal plane) and three-dimensional motion. A “foot” model with a curved plantar ...

Abstract: The applicability of a linear systems analysis of two-dimensional swing leg motion was investigated. Two different linear systems were developed. A linear time-varying system was developed by ...

Abstract: A detailed dynamic model of the stump-prosthesis system for an above knee amputee was developed. The model was used to examine the influence of controls and design parameters on the limb ...

Abstract: A computer-based subsystem has been implemented for the smoothing and differentiation of human motion data. Nonrecursive finite impulse response digital filtering has been employed for this purpose. ...

Abstract: The effects of the stratum corneum and dermis on shear wave propagation along the skin surface was investigated using a mathematical model. The skin was modeled as two distinct viscoelastic ...
