Modeling, control, and simulation of human movement.

Abstract

This article is a discussion and survey of current research activities in modeling, control, and simulation of human movement; the rationale for this methodology, its philosophical implications; current modular implementation; practical and theoretical contributions to other fields such as robotics, prosthetics, medicine, and anatomy; its inherent limitations; relation to other disciplines dealing with human movement; future directions; and the emerging principles that govern human movement.
