Abstract
The purpose of the study is elaboration of approach for determination of functioning of chosen muscles that are essential for gait performance (Tibialis Anterior, Rectus Femoris, Gastrocnemius Medialis, Biceps Femoris). The scope of the study involves the analysis of the symmetric planar motion performing in the sagittal plane of the body by applying planar multibody model and electromyography signals (EMG) registered over normal gait performance. The analysis is performed by applying two types of multibody model: six degree of freedom system and seven degree of freedom system. Inverse dynamics task was used to calculated joint moments influenced ankle joints, knee joints and hip joints. Applied model also described single support phase and double support phase by taking into consideration the model of interaction between the ground and the contact foot. The activity states of considered muscles are determined on the base of their average activations and sequences in time.
