This research aims to develop a mathematical model of human walking using anthropometric data.
Developed a planar double pendulum model influenced by gravity
Incorporated mass–inertial parameters specific to various average male populations
Derived and solved nonlinear differential equations governing the walking model, both analytically and numerically.
The model exhibits motion closely resembling natural human gait for moderate initial angles and velocities.
Results showed similarities in walking patterns across different nationalities.
The model provides realistic outcomes for comparatively slow walking speeds.

Dantchev et al. (2026) studied this question.
