Abstract
To study the effect of prosthesis design on the kinematic, dynamic, energetic and other characteristics of an amputee’s locomotion and to improve and create new efficient lower limb prostheses it is expendient to use mathematical modeling of a human walk process and dynamic optimization techniques. There are a number of mathematical models of the biped walk, having different degrees of adequacy [1–8]. In addition, different experimental methods have been used for solving these problems [9–11].
