Abstract

This work is an attempt towards the development of supporting system for afflicted human locomotion. The mathematical modelling of natural human locomotion its analysis and its utilization in realizing the supporting system for afflicted human locomotion and its mathematical modelling is the primary objective of this paper. Special emphasis has been given to average value based approach in the development of mathematical model for the natural human locomotion by suitably modifying the conventional infinite series (nth order linear differential equation with constant coefficients). The data's required for developing a mathematical model is acquired through optical measuring techniques. The optical measuring technique improves the precision of reading up to duration of 0.025 secs. The important inferences derived from the analysis of natural human locomotion are used in the design and analysis of artificial walking device.
