Abstract
The leg function in human running can be characterized by spring-like behaviour. The human leg itself has several segments, which influence the leg function. In this paper a simple model based on spring-mass-running but with with a compliant ankle joint is introduced to investigate the influence of a rigid foot segment. The predicted force-length-curve explains changes in leg stiffness as well as changes in leg length during stance phase similar to what is observed in human running.
