Popis: The paper presents a comparison between an experimental study of flexion-extension movement in human legs joints and numerical simulations on a virtual mannequin computed in ADAMS virtual environment. Using Biometrics system which is a data acquisition system based on electrogoniometers, data were collected for the right and left ankle, knee and hip during experimental gait overground on force platforms. The mean flexion-extension cycles for legs joints were obtained. The obtained experimental data series were be introduced as input data in the joints of the virtual mannequin and a walking simulation was performed in ADAMS environment software. The variation of ground forces during walking are obtained by experimental data and by virtual simulation.
