Study on Ankle Movement Model based on Fourier Series by Han Jikai, Luo Yufeng, Shi Zhixin, Xie Dongfu, Liu Zhenkun

“…Finally,the model can be used to demonstrate the characteristics of the ankle movement in healthy people,at the same time,motion simulation is performed by ADAMAS to verify the correctness of the ankle driver used in exoskeleton robots. The study of the lower limb ankle movement model of the human body provides an important theoretical basis for studying the characteristics of the ankle movement in healthy subjects during normal walking,and provides a reference model for the driving and control of the ankle joint of the exoskeleton.…”
