Abstract
Joint impedance is a common way of representing human joint dynamics. Since ankle joint impedance varies within the gait cycle, time-varying system identification techniques can be used to estimate it. Commonly, time-varying system identification techniques assume repeatably of joint impedance over cyclic motions, without taking into consideration the inherent variability of human behavior. In this paper, a method that assumes smooth, cyclic joint impedance, yet allows for cycle-to-cycle variability, is proposed. The method was tested on isometric, cyclic experimental data from the ankle under conditions with a time variation comparable to the expected one during the gait cycle. The estimated model could describe the data with high accuracy (VAF of 94.96%) and retrieve realistic inertia, damping and stiffness parameters. The results provide motivation to further apply the method on experiments under dynamic conditions and to employ the proposed method as a tool for investigating the human joint dynamics during cyclic movements.
