  • Is an inverted double pendulum able to walk?

    It is
  • What are the spatiotemporal parameters of walking?

    Steplength: difference between the position of the right vs left and left vs right foot

    Stride length: steplength right + steplenght left

    Step width:

    stride time: extends from heelstrike of 1 heelstrike to the heelstrike of the other foot

    Step time

    double stance time

    single stance time
  • why would you focus on the events in the gait cycle?

    they are well-defined so they're practical to use
  • why would you focus on the phases of gait?

    They have a more functional meaning in analyzing the gait than events
  • What is the goal of the pre-swing?

    preperation of the legs for the swing, you bend you stance leg and unload your swing leg
  • what is a parameter behind the optima for speed, step length and cadance?

    energy efficiency
  • How does body size influence velocity, cadence, steplength and stridelength?

    cadence reduces as a function of steplength (linear), swing time increases as a function of leglength. Stride length increases as a function of height.
  • Do you have to strive for a symetrical gait pattern?

    Only if the underlying impairment gets treated
  • 2D Kinematics

  • what movements is the m. sternoclastoïdius involved in?

    proximal: flexion of the highest verterae
    Distal: extension
  • what is the difference between plantigrade and digitigrade?
