Energetic consequences of walking like an inverted pendulum: step-to-step transitions
It costs several times the metabolic energy for a human to walk as it does to bicycle the same
distance. Walking is often likened to the motion of two coupled pendula, because the stance …

Resolving 3D human pose ambiguities with 3D scene constraints
To understand and analyze human behavior, we need to capture humans moving in, and
interacting with, the world. Most existing methods perform 3D human pose estimation …

[HTML][HTML] Gaze and the control of foot placement when walking in natural terrain
Human locomotion through natural environments requires precise coordination between the
biomechanics of the bipedal gait cycle and the eye movements that gather the information …

Mechanical work for step-to-step transitions is a major determinant of the metabolic cost of human walking
In the single stance phase of walking, center of mass motion resembles that of an inverted
pendulum. Theoretically, mechanical work is not necessary for producing the pendular …

The six determinants of gait and the inverted pendulum analogy: A dynamic walking perspective
AD Kuo - Human movement science, 2007 - Elsevier
We examine two prevailing, yet surprisingly contradictory, theories of human walking. The
six determinants of gait are kinematic features of gait proposed to minimize the energetic …

Mechanical and metabolic determinants of the preferred step width in human walking
J Maxwell Donelan, R Kram… - Proceedings of the …, 2001 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We studied the selection of preferred step width in human walking by measuring mechanical
and metabolic costs as a function of experimentally manipulated step width (0.00–0.45 L, as …
