Effect of Foot Location on Human Running Prediction

Human running is simulated in this work by using a skeletal digital human model with 55 degrees of freedom (DOFs). A predictive dynamics method is used to formulate the running problem, and normal running is formulated as a symmetric and cyclic motion. The dynamic effort and impulse are used as the performance measure, and the upper body yawing moment is also included in the performance measure. The joint angle profiles and joint torque profiles are calculated for the full-body human model, and the ground reaction force is determined. The effect of foot location on the running motion prediction are simulated and studied.Copyright © 2014 by ASME
