Effect of Cadence Regulation on Muscle Activation Patterns During Robot-Assis…

Abstract—Cadence or stride frequency is an important parameter being controlled in gait training of neurologically impaired subjects. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of cadencevariationonmuscleactivationpatternsduringrobot-assisted unimpaired gait using dynamic simulations. A 2-D musculoskeletal model of human gait was developed considering eight major muscle groups along wit…
