Abstract :
Accurate and specific predictive numerical simulation of the human gait can help in many clinical routines. Predictive methods often track modifications applied to a reference motion but that usually do not take into account the characteristics and the stability of the predicted motion. We propose an approach that includes a cost function, computed on the predicted motion, which optimization preserves these concerns. Experimental studies on subjects with different walking patterns confirmed that our method preserves the characteristics of the gait.
