ANKLE VS. HIP POWER FOR HUMAN WALKING Cara L. Lewis, PT, PhD Dan Ferris, PhD Human Neuromechanics Laboratory University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI USA
Simple Bipedal Walking Model • “Powered” by gravity
Impulse push Hip torque Powered Bipedal Walking Model(Kuo 2002) 4 times less costly
Impulse push Hip torque Powered Bipedal Walking Modelapplied to human gait Is there an inherent tradeoff in human gait?
Effect of Push-off during Gait • Hypothesis: changes in ankle push-off would be inversely related to the hip moment
Effect of Push-off during Gait • Methods: • 10 subjects (7 females, 3 males) • Walk on a custom split-belt force-measuring treadmill at 1.25 m/s • Recorded kinematics and kinetics of ankle, knee and hip joints

Effect of Push-off during Gait • Increasing push-off decreases both hip flexion and hip extension peak moment and angular impulse • Decreases hip flexion peak power
Clinical Implications • Anterior hip pain • Acetabular labral tears • Increased anterior joint force due to muscle • Idiopathic hip osteoarthritis: • Progress faster with higher joint forces • Large percentage of joint force due to muscle 18
