AB  - Gait is a one of the universal motion in daily activities and its analysis becomes one of the important aspects in conveying information about one’s physical condition. Normal gait is assumed to be symmetrical but some research reported there are differences in the action of lower extremities although in able-bodied. People who suffer from osteoarthritis will use the hip prosthesis to replace the damage hip joint. Osteoarthritis is a disease which affects the gait cycle of a human. Some of the patients undergoes single replacement of hip joint while the others undergoes both the left and right joint replacement. Asymmetrical gait will actually affect the performance of both right and left hip joint since the wear mechanism were difference between them. The aim of this study was to define asymmetrical gait towards the hip joint and to explore the design concept of biped hip simulator that mimics physiological loading of hip joint replacement. A simulator is designed as to obtain significant result from asymmetrical gait where parameters are assumed to be different.
