However, it is still unclear how this quantity is regulated at the knee during dynamic tasks. In this work, we introduce a method to estimate the mechanical impedance of spring-mass systems using a torque-controllable exoskeleton with the intention of extending these methods to characterize the mechanical impedance of the human knee during locomotion. We characterize system bandwidth and intrinsic impedance and present a perturbation-based methodology to identify the mechanical impedance of known spring-mass systems. Our approach was able to obtain accurate estimates of stiffness and inertia, with errors under 3% and \u223c13\u201316%, respectively. This work provides a qualitative and quantitative foundation that will enable accurate estimates of knee joint impedance during locomotion in future works.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4051843","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,21]],"date-time":"2021-07-21T10:19:31Z","timestamp":1626862771000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Validation of Methods for Estimation of Knee Joint Mechanical Impedance During Locomotion Using a Torque-Controllable Knee Exoskeleton"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"144","author":[{"suffix":"II","given":"Yves F.","family":"Nazon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Robotics Institute University of Michigan , Ann Arbor, MI 48109"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raveena M.","family":"Doshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Robotics Institute University of Michigan , Ann Arbor, MI 48109"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elliott J.","family":"Rouse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Robotics Institute University of Michigan , Ann Arbor, MI 48109"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2022121501101311300_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"194","DOI":"10.1016\/S0966-6362(03)00062-6","article-title":"Muscle Force Redistributes Segmental Power for Body Progression During Walking","volume":"19","year":"2004","journal-title":"Gait Posture"},{"issue":"175","key":"2022121501101311300_bib2","first-page":"147","article-title":"Energy Generation and Absorption at the Ankle and Knee During Fast, Natural, and Slow Cadences","year":"1983","journal-title":"Clin.
