Abstract
Characterization of multi-variable ankle mechanical impedance is crucial to understanding how the ankle supports lower-extremity function during interaction with the environment. This paper reports quantification of steady-state ankle impedance when muscles were active. Vector field approximation of repetitive measurements of the torque-angle relation in two degrees of freedom (inversion/eversion and dorsiflexion/plantarflexion) enabled assessment of spring-like and non-spring-like components. Experimental results of eight human subjects showed direction-dependent ankle impedance with greater magnitude than when muscles were relaxed. In addition, vector field analysis demonstrated a non-spring-like behavior when muscles were active, although this phenomenon was subtle in the unimpaired young subjects we studied.
