Abstract :
It has been suggested that control using a skill based expert system can be applicable for gait restoration. The basic problem faced is that there is no expertise to be used for determination of rules. In this study an automatic method for obtaining the production rules from a set of examples is described. The method is based on minimization of entropy. This study presents the determination of one production rule for level walking of an able bodied subject. The method is also directly applicable to pathological gait.
