Abstract
This disclosure relates to the evaluation and improvement of gaits in legged locomotion of humans, animals, and robots by superimposing a biomechanical figure selected from a spectrum of models onto the recorded motion of a test subject. For gait evaluation, a model is selected from a database to closely match the observed gait and existing performance parameters are obtained. For gait improvement, an incrementally superior model is selected from the database to provide enhanced performance goals. This Model Vision Evaluation (MoVE) system thus includes spectrums of biomechanical models over a range of inferior to superior levels of skill and performance for evaluating and improving all types of gaits in legged locomotion.
