This paper aims at demonstrating the capabilities of predictive, computational simulations of gait in clinical applications. In particular, the gait with bilateral and unilateral Ankle Foot-Orthoses (AFO's) is investigated. The problem is formulated in an optimal control framework where optimal motion and neural excitations to the muscles are computed solely on the basis of an assumed optimality criterion and periodicity constraints. The enormous potential of the approach as well as some of the current limitations are discussed on the light of simulation results.
本文旨在展示步态预测性计算模拟在临床应用中的能力。特别地，研究了双侧和单侧踝足矫形器（AFO）的步态。该问题在最优控制框架中进行表述，其中最优运动和肌肉的神经兴奋仅基于假定的最优性准则和周期性约束来计算。根据模拟结果讨论了该方法的巨大潜力以及当前的一些局限性。
