The Study of the Effect of Variation of Human Parameters on the Walking Speed Based on Simulations

Abstract

This paper aims to the purpose of this paper is to establish a mechanical model of biped walking based on passive walking theory, and conduct simulation research using national standard human body parameters. The influence of changes in human body parameters on walking speed was analyzed. It draws the conclusion that the "length of the shank and foot height" and the (length of the shank and foot height)/the length of leg)" have positive correlation with the walking speed. And this appearance is in compliance with other researchers' results by experiments. This method can be used for walking races athlete selection.
