Human Lower limb is a complex kinematic structure. It involves in the body balance and motor movements. The walking pattern of human being is called Gait. Any disorders in the lower limbs result in impaired Gait. The impaired Gait can be treated by Gait Rehabilitation. In this work, Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) is designed and fabricated to be used as an actuator for Ankle defects. The PAM is preferred because of the human like behavior. The modeling of PAM is done in Simulink environment using two models namely Geometric and Hill’s model. Both the models are analyzed and compared to check whether the torque obtained is necessary for the ankle movement during Gait. The results obtained from the simulation are then validated with the experimental results.
