This paper presents an algorithm of modeling human gait and gives a description of the planar problem, when the motion occurs in the sagittal plane. The time of the double support phase is assumed infinitesimal. The effect of hand movements is not taken into account. Modeling the human gait (including the forces applied to the end of the supporting leg in the single support phase of the step) leads to the results concerning forces applied in the hip, knee and ankle joints (for a supporting leg) in the process of movement.
