Abstract:
In the present study, we developed a neuromusculoskeletal model for human running and performed computer simulation of the running gait. We constructed the musculoskeletal part of the model based on biomechanical findings and constructed the nervous system model based on physiological findings of central pattern generators and muscle synergy. We investigated functional roles of the nervous system to produce the running gait and examined the dynamic characteristics during the running gait.
