Abstract
A new method for identifying rigid link models of human lower limbs has been proposed in this paper. The method was motivated by necessity of simulating human body movements for rehabilitation or for design of assistive devices. The method is based on combination of random search and least squares estimation techniques. Simulation and experimental results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
