Description

<p>In a previous study, the authors proposed a method to adapt the dynamic stability of walking, MoS, to walking with a cane. Specifically, the moment of equilibrium (CoP) point between the legs and the cane load was used as the boundary of the BoS. As a result, it was confirmed that the MoS tended to be higher at a specific cane tip position. In this study, a musculoskeletal model was developed for theoretical analysis. The musculoskeletal model consists of four links from the ground to the shoulder, upper arm, forearm, and cane; three joints (shoulder, elbow, and hand); and three muscles (deltoid, triceps, and extensor carpi ulnaris). Using this model, the cane load was estimated for the cane tip position. The results showed that the estimation accuracy was high in the range of 20 to 40 cm. </p>
