The simulation model of human anatomy is a comprehensive, full-body, simulation-ready, musculoskeletal model with 304 Hill-type musculotendon units. The Bidirectional GaitNet consists of forward and backward models. The forward model predicts a gait pattern of a person with specific physical conditions, while the backward model estimates the physical conditions of a person when his/her gait pattern is provided. Our simulation-based approach first learns the forward model by distilling the simulation data generated by a state-of-the-art predictive gait simulator and then constructs a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) with the learned forward model as its decoder. Once it is learned its encoder serves as the backward model. We demonstrate our model on a variety of healthy/impaired gaits and validate it in comparison with physical examination data of real patients.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.04161v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.04161v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"bidirectional-gaitnet-a-bidirectional","repo_url":"https://github.com/namjohn10/bidirectionalgaitnet","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"anatomy","task_name":"Anatomy"},{"task_slug":"decoder","task_name":"Decoder"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
