[Elasticity of the foot when modelling man's movements].

An anthropomorphic model was elaborated, which permitted estimation of foot elasticity in man's movements. The foot in the model is presented as an elastic rod. In this model it turned necessary to introduce additional limitations as the zero moment point in support, and the effect of foot elasticity on the dynamics of man's movement was estimated. The movements of the model performing a jump synthetized on a computer proved to be adequate to similar movement of the man.
