Outline of Final Research Achievements

I accomplished the following three projects in this research, and realized an intelligent training based on the mechanical stress loaded on the legs during running.
(1) To evaluate the mechanical stress on the musculoskeletal system during walking and running utilizing techniques of computer simulation. (2) To bio-feedback the obtained results so that the users can visually recognize the mechanical stress loaded on the legs real-time. (3) To perform training sessions with the bio-feedback and aid learning running motions with smaller mechanical stress.
