Abstract

The traditional vertical walking force model does not take account of the variations of intro-subject and inter-subject, this paper aims at analyzing the characteristics of vertical walking force of single footstep. Using a test platform, two single footstep traces are collected. Force shape parameters including characteristic time and shape amplitudes, as well as contact time and normalized impulse of single footstep are investigated. The contact time and normalized impulse are all fitted as functions of step frequency. Finally, based on the statistical results, a new concept equivalent force is put forward to describe the single footstep walking force.
