Modeling of the Human locomotion system- exam questions

Exam July 2024:

3 topics divided into multiple questions:

  • achilles tendon modeling (incl. assumptions, validation, testing)
  • force length relationships in the muscle (incl. at the sarcomere level and power output)
  • gait analysis, ground reaction forces, movement of CoM

I can recommend the lecture series by this Stanford professor Delp:

He has some lectures specifically deal with muscle mechanics force length relationships and gait analysis.
