Abstract(in English) In this study, we analyzed the leg joint coordination, a.k.a. joint synergy, in backward walking by the UCM analysis and examined how hip, knee and ankle joints cooperate so as to suppress the variances of toe position relative to the hip position. The results show that the joint coordination is operative in double support phase and from the middle of swing phase to the touch-down. In forward walking, joint coordination is also observed in double support phase, however, the way of the coordination is different from the way in backward walking. Furthermore, joint coordination to adjust the foot height is not utilized in forward walking. These results suggest that there are some differences in the control strategies of backward and forward walking.
