60 Heel Strike Dynamics Impulse-momentum level dynamic equations: q T + + T ( ) I λ I = M q q = A Impulsive constraints: AI q + = 0 (defines post-impact kinematic condition) A I : constraint Jacobian matrix. This matrix has different representations depending on which foot collides the ground.

61 Decomposition of the Dynamic Equations The tangent space of the walking system can be decomposed to two subspaces mutually orthogonal with respect to the mass metric of the system [Kövecses 2003] This is achieved based on the following projection operators T ( ) 1 P = M A A M A A 1 T 1 c I I I I T ( ) 1 P = I M A A M A A 1 T 1 a I I I I Space of Constrained Motion (SCM) Space of Admissible Motion (SAM) The generalized velocities and impulses can be decoupled as q=pq + Pq=v + v c a c a f=pf+ Pf=f+ f T T c a c a Decomposition of the Impulsive Motion

62 Decomposition of the Dynamic Equations This gives a complete decoupling of the dynamic equations + Tc = + T M( vc vc ) = AI λ I vc + Ta = = v a + ( a a) M v v 0 Space of Constrained Motion (SCM) Space of Admissible Motion (SAM) + Solution: c = v 0 and v a = v a q = va = Pq a and the kinetic energy of the system 1 T 1 T T = T + T = v Mv + v Mv 2 2 c a c c a a Decomposition of the Impulsive Motion

65 Simulation Results Goal: Analyze the effect of the body configuration and mass distribution on the dynamics of heel strike. Results and Discussion

66 Effects of the Lower Body on the Foot Separation Post-impact vel. v + S n (m/s) Concentrating the mass of the lower body at the hip increases the range of angles for which the trailing foot passively lifts up. Results and Discussion

67 Effects of the Lower Body on the Kinetic Energy Decomposition Kinetic Energy T c Kinetic Energy T a Concentrating the mass of the lower body at the legs reduces the energy loss at impact. A low impact angle q 4 reduces the kinetic energy loss (for a given mass distribution). Results and Discussion

68 Effects of the Lower Body on the Cost of Transport Cost of transport ξ L (J/m) Concentrating the mass of the lower body at the legs reduces the energy loss per unit distance. A low impact angle q 4 (small steps) reduces the energy loss per unit distance. Results and Discussion

69 Effects of the Upper Body on the Foot Separation Post-impact vel. v + S n (m/s) Concentrating the mass of the upper body at the hip increases the post-impact normal velocity of the trailing foot. Results and Discussion

70 Effects of the Upper Body on the Kinetic Energy Decomposition Kinetic Energy T c Kinetic Energy T a Concentrating the mass of the upper body at the top reduces the kinetic energy loss. A torso leaning forward (q 5 =0) improves the efficiency of the impact (for a given mass distribution). Results and Discussion

71 Conclusions We presented a Lagrangian formulation applicable to the study of the impulsive dynamics of heel strike. We introduced a decomposition of the dynamic equations and the kinetic energy to the spaces of constrained and admissible motions. This is useful to analyze the kinetic energy redistribution and the velocity change at heel strike. A low inter-leg angle at heel strike and a torso leaning forward reduce the energetic consumption per unit distance due to impacts. Conclusions
