Abstract

A mathematical model of human gait was developed to calculate the muscle forces of the lower extremity during walking. The musculoskeletal model consisted of 7 segments and 16 lower extremity muscles. The muscle forces variation during the gait calculated with optimization technique showed a good agreement with previously reported experimental results, mostly EMG variation. Moreover, the resulting joint torques matched well with those from the kinematic data and the inverse dynamics.

보행시 하지 주요 근육내의힘의 변화를 계산하기 위한 수학적 모델을 개발하였다. 인체는 7개의 운동 분절로 모델링 하였으며, 하지 당 8개의 수요 근육을 고려한 모델을 사용하였다. 보행시 하지 근육의 발생되는 힘의 변화는 최적화 기법을 적용하여 계산하였으며, 계산 결과는 기존의 EMG 데이터와 비교 검토하여 모델의 타당성을 확인하였다. 또한 보행시 각 운동 분절의 운동 데이터를 이용하여 역동력학적 기법으로 구해진 하지 관전내의 토크량의 변화와 비교에서도 본 연구에서의 계산 결과는 만족할 만한 일치를 보이고 있었다.
