Stability and control of a two-link inverted pendulum system with application to human trunk movement during walking

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the development of a mathematical model in order to study the control mechanisms of human upper body movement during walking. The upper body, which consists of the pelvis and thorax, is modeled as a chain of inverted pendulums with one degree of rotation...
