Final Year Project: Investigating Human Walking
نویسندگان
چکیده
Finding a relationship between foot pressure and leg muscle activity during human walking is valuable as the data could be useful in developing a model of human walking which potentially can be used in spinal injury rehabilitation research. A connection could determine which muscles need to be stimulated using electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to re-train a correct walking pattern in an injured patient. The data could also be used in robotics in the development of humanoid robots with movement based on human walking.
