This dissertation uses a robotics-inspired approach to dev elop a low-dimensional forward dynamic model of normal human walking. The analytical m odel captures the dynamics of walking over a complete gait cycle in the sagittal p l ne. The model for normal walking is extended to model asymmetric gait. The asymmetri c model is applied to study the gait dynamics of a transtibial prosthesis user. Modeling human walking is complex because walking involves (i) the body’s many degrees of freedom (DOF), (ii) constraints that change, and (i ii) intermittent contact with the environment that may be impulsive. Complex forward dynamic m odels that attempt to capture details such as joints with multiple DOF, musculature, etc., are analytically intractable; it is impossible to describe the model’s behavior in mathema tically manageable terms because of the enormous number of variables and redundancies i volved. Observation of human walking from a systems point of view reveals that the hu man body coordinates its many DOF in a parsimonious manner to accomplish the task of mo ving the body’s center of mass from one point to another. This dissertation’s appro ach exploits this parsimony to derive an analytically tractable model that has the minimum DOF necessary to describe the task of walking in the sagittal plane. The low-dimensional hybrid model is derived as an exact subdynamic of a higherdimensional anthropomorphic hybrid model. The hybrid natu re is the result of continuous sub-models of single support (SS) and double support (DS), a nd discrete maps that model ii the transitions from SS to DS and DS to SS. The modeling is vali dated using existing gait data. To extend the clinical usefulness of the modeling approach, the model for normal walking is extended to model asymmetric gait. The asymmetric mod el can accommodate asymmetries in the parameters and joint motions of the left and ri ght legs. The asymmetric model is applied to analyze the gait dynamics of a transtibial pros thesis user. Cost functions are used to evaluate the effect of varying prosthetic alignment , prosthesis mass distribution, and prosthetic foot stiffness. The results agree well with clin i al observations and the results of related gait studies reported in the literature.
