This study aims to evaluate gait mechanics in healthy young adults by evaluating the impact of multiple study design choices and relationships between different aspects of gait (walking). Loading and movement walking data was collected from a total of sixty-one participants. This data was then used to calculate several measures of gait including symmetry between limbs, joint ranges of motion, and variability of movement. The potential impact of study design choices including setting walking speed for all participants and evaluating loading asymmetry and movement variability independently are discussed based on the findings of the current study.

In recent years a number of new computational techniques for the control of nonlinear and underactuated systems have been developed and tested largely in theory and simulation. In order to better understand how these new tools are applied to real systems and to expose areas where the theory is lacking testing on a physical model system is necessary. In this thesis a human scale, free walking, planar bipedal walking robot is designed and several of these new control techniques are tested. These include system identification via simulation error optimization, simulation based LQR-Trees, and transverse stabilization of trajectories. Emphasis is put on the topics of designing highly dynamic robots, practical considerations in implementation of these advanced control strategies, and exploring where these techniques need additional development.

Foot contact forces are imperative to gait analysis for uses such as elderly rehabilitation and athletic training. Previously developed methods for legged locomotion force detection involved convoluted sensing systems and significant external equipment. This thesis builds upon previous developed smart shoe sensors adapted from the MIT Cheetah robot using pressure sensors embedded in urethane rubber, Smooth-On's Vytaflex® 20. Past work developed accurate material models in Abaqus CAE to simulate foot contacts for compression and shear. This thesis builds upon the FEA models for two sensor sizes to create a simple model to measure torque and contact angle given force measured by the sensor. Using experiments with physical footpads on a CNC mill verified by simulations from Abaqus FEA, we derived models for contact angles between 0 to 15 degrees and rolling movement from -7 to 7 degrees at various compressions. Models successfully derive relationships between roll and contact angle versus force. These models can be used as a jumping point for data analysis using the smart shoe sensor.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive neuro-muscular disorder that causes progressive muscle degeneration. DMD patients tend to walk on their tip toes because of their weak calf muscles and currently do not have many options for managing the fatigue induced by supporting most of the foot strike impact with the ball of their feet. Patients with Idiopathic Toe Walking (ITW) suffer from similar symptoms and lack of physical support when walking. The addition of external heel support through an orthosis attached on the exterior of the heel of the shoe may help reduce this fatigue and correct the tip toe gait of DMD and ITW patients, enabling them to walk for longer distances unassisted. In order to study the effect of additional heel support with an orthosis, a custom orthosis with variable stiffness cushioning was designed. A healthy subject walked with simulated tip toe walking observed in DMD and ITW patients on a treadmill for three thirty-second trials, each with a cushioning material of rubber, gel, or foam added to the orthosis. The force on the foot, calf muscle activity, and video were recorded. Controls of "normal" walking and tip toe walking without prototypes were used for baseline comparisons. Material firmness and Young's modulus were measured for each of the materials with a compression test using a texture analyzer. There was a significant decrease in muscle activity from the tip toe control with the foam orthosis for both feet and for all orthosis materials for the right foot. There was also a significant improvement in heel-to-ball force ratios for all orthosis materials compared to the tip toe control. There was no observed correlation between material firmness and Young's modulus with muscle activity or heel-to-ball force ratio. The gait analysis from the video showed a gait appearance closer to that of the normal control than the tip toe control with the orthoses..
