Characterization and Categorization of Various Human Lower Limb Movements Based on Kinematic Synergies.

ABSTRACT: A proper movement categorization reduces the complexity of understanding or reproducing human movements in fields such as physiology, rehabilitation, and robotics, through partitioning a wide variety of human movements into representative sub-motion groups. However, how to establish a categorization (especially a quantitative categorization) for various human lower limb movements is rarely investigated in literature and remains challenging due to the diversity and complexity of the lower limb movements (diverse gait modes and interaction styles with the environment). Here we present a quantitative categorization for the various lower limb movements. To this end, a similarity measure between movements was first built based on limb kinematic synergies that provide a unified and physiological
