    Abstract

    Artificial walking aids compensate the physical limitations experienced by handicapped persons in their routine activities and help them to reduce their dependence on others. The characteristics of healthy gait in terms of angular velocity, angular acceleration, linear velocity and linear acceleration needs to be examined for designing a walking aid. The human locomotion was analyzed using high resolution video camera for normal level walking. The angular displacement of knee and hip were recorded and an artificial neural network model was developed for estimating the human locomotion parameters. The average value based approach was employed in the developed model for linearization. The output response of the model can be used for activating joint angles in the walking aid and helped in estimating linear displacement. Also, the complexity involved in the dynamics of human gait can be reduced to a greater extent with the help of this modeling technique.
