Simulation of human gait with body weight support: benchmarking models and unloading strategies

Abstract Background Gait training with partial body weight support (BWS) has become an established rehabilitation technique. Besides passive unloading mechanisms such as springs or counterweights, also active systems that allow rendering constant or modulated vertical forces have been proposed. Howe...
