Estimation of Quasi-Stiffness of the Human Hip in the Stance Phase of Walking

This work presents a framework for selection of subject-specific quasi-stiffness of hip orthoses and exoskeletons, and other devices that are intended to emulate the biological performance of this joint during walking. The hip joint exhibits linear moment-angular excursion behavior in both the exten...
