A computer simulation approach to the study of effects of deck surface compliance on initial impact impulse forces in human gait

The Navy's leadership is looking at improving quantify of life and reducing long term health problems through the reduction of knee disorders. One proposal for reducing knee disorders is to install more compliant decking The goal of this thesis is to develop a computer model of the human gait t...
