Biomechanics of Walking D. Gordon E. Robertson, PhD, FCSB Biomechanics, Laboratory, School of Human Kinetics, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada

Quantitative Domains Temporal Kinematic (motion description) Phases (stance/swing) and events (foot-strike, toe-off), stride rate Kinematic (motion description) stride length, velocity, ranges of motion, acceleration Kinetic (causes of motion) ground reaction forces, joint forces, moments of force, work, energy and power

Temporal Analysis Stride time Stride rate = 1/rate Stride cadence = 120 x rate (b/min) Instrumentation Photocells and timers Videography (1 frame = 1/30 second) Metronome

Motion Analysis Tools EMG Cine or Video camera Force platform

Electromyography Bortec system Noraxon system Delsys electrodes Mega system

Kinematic Analysis Study of motion without consideration of its causes Motion description Based on Calculus developed by Newton and Leibnitz Isaac Newton, 1642-1727

Kinematic Analysis Linear position Angular position Manual goniometer Linear position Ruler, tape measure, optical Angular position Protractor, inclinometer, goniometer Linear acceleration Accelerometry, videography Angular acceleration Videography Miniature accelerometers

Motion Analysis Cinefilm, video or infrared video High-speed cine-camera Cinefilm, video or infrared video Subject is filmed and locations of joint centres are digitized Videocamera Infra-red camera

Computerized Digitizing (APAS)

Kinetic Analysis Causes of motion Forces and moments of force Work, energy and power Impulse and momentum Inverse Dynamics derives forces and moments from kinematics and body segment parameters (mass, centre of gravity, and moment of inertia)

Force Platforms Kistler force platforms

Steps for Inverse Dynamics Space diagram of the lower extremity

Divide Body into Segments and Make Free-Body Diagrams Make free-body diagrams of each segment

Add all Known Forces to FBD Weight (W) Ground reaction force (Fg)

Apply Newton’s Laws of Motion to Terminal Segment Start analysis with terminal segment(s), e.g., foot or hand

Apply Reactions of Terminal Segment to Distal End of Next Segment in Kinematic Chain Continue to next link in the kinematic chain, e.g., leg or forearm

Repeat with Next segment in Chain or Begin with Another Limb Repeat until all segments have been considered, e.g., thigh or arm
