Predicting the effects of walker height and weight support on assisted gait using physics-based predictive simulations

2025-10-03

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Walker-assisted gait is widely used in clinical rehabilitation for individuals with muscle weakness and balance impairments. This study presents a predictive simulation framework that integrates a 3D full-body musculoskeletal model driven by muscle torque generators within an optimal control problem. We calibrated the muscle torque generators model using experimental isometric and isoki...
