This study has been conducted to measure human gait locomotion according to different lower extremity alignments, and to assess the alignment effects on knees and leg muscles. Subjects were separated into three groups by knee alignment as normal knee, genu varum, and genu valgum. We conducted a synchronisation experiment using motion capture, tactile sensor and muscle potential in order to investigate the effect of the muscle activity due to differences in the alignment of the knee, and we are considering the difference in the motion analysis during walking, ground reaction and EMG. The results, were differences in the EMG and walking motion by knee types.

The aim of this paper is to develop a stable biped model for level ground walking with anthropomorphic parameters. Two models for level ground walking has been simulated and studied, one with active hip joint and the other with ankle impulse. Proposed model is derived from compass gait model with additional torque only at hip joint. Level ground walking has been simulated to find torque requirement and relation between applied torque and angular variation of stance and swing leg. Stability analysis to find disturbance rejection range has also been found. Proposed model serves as a transition from passive walking to energy efficient anthropomorphic walking. Initial stability analysis and model behaviour shows satisfactory results. This concept can be modified towards complete anthropomorphic biped walking by applying minimum possible torque at knee and ankle joint along with hip and also for developing energy efficient active exoskeleton.

A method has been proposed for structural synthesis of the planar 10-link, 3-DOF simple and multiple joint kinematic chains in this paper. The procedure for structural synthesis of the kinematic chains is obtained by applying the single-kinematic-chain (SKC) adding theory with the help of double-colour-topological-graph (DCTG) model representation. The mean feature of this method is that a multiple joint kinematic chain with L independent loops can be formed by subsequently adding single-open-chain (SOC) on a single-closed-chain (SCC) with three adding styles. By this method, the structures of all the 10-link, 3-DOF simple and multiple joint kinematic chains have been synthesised by computer.

This paper presents and discusses the design of a novel fibre optic force sensor which will be embedded within the needle. This sensor will provide information on lateral and axial forces acting on the needle. The proposed design is amalgamation of two technologies and uses both Fabry Perot interferometer and fibre brags grating.
