On the stability of walking systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We reconsider here the stability criteria usually proposed for the analysis of walking systems, exhibiting their limits and their ambiguity. We propose then some new criteria based on a thorough analysis of the dynamics of walking systems and precise definitions concerning their stability. Numerical methods are presented then to deal with these new criteria.

Effect of Backward Walking Training on Improves Postural Stability in Children with Down syndrome
Background Motor intervention plays an important role in reducing the disabilities of Down syndrome (DS). A lack of balance and postural control has created motor problems in DS patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of backward walking on postural stability of DS patients. Materials and Methods Sixteen DS children with 8-10 age range were selected by convenience s...
متن کاملAssessment of Dynamic Stability During Walking in Below-knee Amputation
Purpose: Dynamic stability reduces in patients with unilateral amputation; so, it is important to recognize changes in balance during walking. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic stability of unilateral below-knee amputation during walking. Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study, in which 10 patients with knee amputation and 10 healthy young people participated. The ...
متن کاملDynamics modeling and stable gait planning of a quadruped robot in walking over uneven terrains
Quadruped robots have unique capabilities for motion over uneven natural environments. This article presents a stable gait for a quadruped robot in such motions and discusses the inverse-dynamics control scheme to follow the planned gait. First, an explicit dynamics model will be developed using a novel constraint elimination method for an 18-DOF quadruped robot. Thereafter, an inverse-dynamics...
متن کاملEffect of Different Cognitive Loads on Gait Stability in Younger and Older Adults
Purpose: As many older people fall during dual tasks, we aimed to examine the effect of different cognitive loads on learning gait stability in younger and older adults. Methods: 10 younger (Mean±SD age: 25.91±3.42 years) and 10 older adults (Mean±SD: 66.65±4.28 years) were healthy volunteers without a history of falls. They were asked to do three tasks on a treadmill with cognitive load (none...
متن کاملAnalytical Dynamic Modelling of Heel-off and Toe-off Motions for a 2D Humanoid Robot
The main objective of this article is to optimize the walking pattern of a 2D humanoid robot with heel-off and toe-off motions in order to minimize the energy consumption and maximize the stability margin. To this end, at first, a gait planning method is introduced based on the ankle and hip joint position trajectories. Then, using these trajectories and the inverse kinematics, the position tra...
متن کاملEvaluation of Static and Dynamic Stability and Its Relationship With Fear of Falling in Patients With Mild to Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis
Objective Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders affecting balance. It is also a risk factor for falling in older people. People with a history of falling, whether being injured or not, acquire a fear of potential falling, so they limit their functional activities, leading to decreased mobility, muscle weakness, and increased risk of falling in the future. Evalu...
