Abstract
We offer the rationale for considering tuning out of resonance in gait to be a phenomenon at least as important as tuning to resonance. The latter is a traditional topic in biomechanical analysis, while antiresonance activity in the human body has not been investigated. We suggest a model of spectral optimization where the control vector consists of stiffnesses in joints. The proposed approach bridges resonance and antiresonance control with the design of prosthetic joints.
