Analysis of ground reaction force and electromyographic activity of the gastrocnemius muscle during double support

Purpose: Mechanisms associated with energy expenditure during gait have been extensively researched and studied. According to the double-inverted pendulum model energy expenditure is higher during double support, as lower limbs need to work to redirect the centre of mass velocity. This study looks i...
