About this document
Mechanical Work in Human Walking by Andrés Alanís is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document presents a new method, called the individual limbs method, for quantifying the external mechanical work performed by each limb during human walking. The traditional combined limbs method underestimates external work during double support phases by allowing simultaneous positive and negative work to cancel out mathematically. Testing the new individual limbs method, researchers found that the legs perform substantial positive and negative work simultaneously during double support. The trailing l
