Evaluating anticipatory control strategies for their capability to cope with step-down perturbations in computer simulations of human walking

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Müller et_al19 found that the anticipatory strategy significantly decreased plantar flexor (i.e. M. gastrocnemius medialis and M. soleus) activity during the preparatory contact. In the model extension, the anticipatory strategy is implemented by exclusively increasing or decreasing feedback gains of one muscle in the contralateral leg only during the preparatory contact (Fig 2b). The experimental data of Müller et_al19 indicate that muscular adaptations in the plantar flexors do not occur immediately after heel strike of the preparatory contact, but only in the further course of the stance phase. The simulations start . . .
