Abstract

In the super-aging society, it is necessary to understand gait initiation (GI) to solve motor control problems faced by older adults and hemiplegic patients. The purpose of this paper is to confirm that Anticipatory Postural Adjustments (APAs), which are considered important for understanding GI, are effective for GI. Using musculoskeletal model and control models for standing, GI, and gait, we simulated standing, GI, and steady gait. We found that even though the GI control proposed in this paper was not designed to produce APAs, APAs appeared as a result of optimization. This suggests that APAs may be an effective motion in GI.
