Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
This study aims to improve our understanding of gait initiation mechanisms and the lower-limb joint mechanical energy contributions. Healthy subjects were instructed to initiate gait on an instrumented track to reach three self-selected target velocities: slow, normal and fast. Lower-limb joint kinematics and kinetics of the first five strides were analyzed. The results show that the initial lateral weight shift is achieved by hip abduction torque on the lifting leg (leading limb). Before the take-off of the leading limb, the forward body movement is initiated by decreasing ankle plantarflexion torque, which results in an inverted pendulum-like passive forward fall. The hip flexion/extension joint has the greatest positive mechanical energy output in the first stride of the leading limb, while the ankle joint contributes the most positive mechanical energy in the first stride of the trailing limb (stance leg). Our results indicate a strong correlation between control of the frontal plane and the sagittal plane joints during gait initiation. The identified mechanisms and the related data can be used as a guideline for improving gait initiation with wearable robots such as exoskeletons and prostheses.
