Simulating Walking on Surfaces of Different Compliance using the ASU Variable Stiffness Treadmill
Simulating outdoor terrains with virtual reality and a treadmill can improve the versatility and performance of leg prosthetics.
Investigating Leg Prosthesis Kinematics for Walking on Surfaces of Different Compliance
This research is being conducted to investigate if leg kinematics are unique and can be characterized in reference to a 2-D plane when walking on surfaces of different compliance. By using inertial measurements units and math relating quaternions and rotation matrices it is possible to represent leg motion by measuring joint angles between the hip,
