説明

It is essential for the biomechanical study of human walking motion to consider not only in vivo mechanical load and energy efficiency but also aspects of motor control such as walking stability. In this study, walking stability was investigated using a three-dimensional entire-body neuro-musculo-skeletal model in the computer simulation. In the computational experiments, imaginary constraints, such as no muscular system, were set in the neuro-musculo-skeletal model to investigate their influence on walking stability. The neuronal parameters were adjusted using numerical search techniques in order to adapt walking patterns to constraints on the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. Simulation results revealed that the model of the normal neuro-musculo-skeletal system yielded a higher stability than the imaginary models. Unstable walking by a model with a time delay in the neuronal system suggested significant unknown mechanisms which stabilized walking patterns that have been neglected in previous studies.
