Abstract: This study presents a 2D gait model that uses global parameterization within an optimal control approach and a hypervolumetric foot contact model. The model is simulated for an entire gait stride, i.e., two full steps. ...

Abstract: Forward dynamic simulations of a periodic forearm motion were developed in order to explore the efficiency of using a Fourierseriesbased parameterization function for muscle excitations within dynamic optimization. The ...
