A mechatronic system for studying energy optimization during walking.

2018-12-17

Abstract excerpt

A general principle of human movement is that our nervous system is able to learn optimal coordination strategies. However, how our nervous system performs this optimization is not well understood. Here we design, build, and test a mechatronic system to probe the algorithms underlying optimization of energetic cost in walking. The system applies controlled fore-aft forces to a hip-belt worn by a user, decreasing t...
