Research on Pre-Slip Gait Mechanical Contributions and Gait Self-Balancing Mechanics during Walking

Abstract:

Walking is a complex dynamic task that requires the regulation of the whole-body angular momentum to maintain dynamic balance while performing walking subtasks such as propelling the body forward and accelerating the leg into swing. To investigate the characteristic of slips and falls during gait self-balancing, a method was proposed that could better understand the effects of pre-slip gait response biomechanics on the risk for falls. A new segmental model of the human body was developed and this model would be used continuously measured locations from nearly 85 points on the body to produce a dynamic postural record of human movement. The muscles surrounding the hip were found to be most important in maintaining control of the trunk and preventing collapse in response to the forward perturbations (FP).
