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 …
