Abstract: This paper mainly introduced the development of human lower limb dynamic modeling and simulation at home and abroad, and also proposed further promising development. Its modeling methods mainly included Newton-Euler method, Lagrangian method, Kane method, etc. Analysis methods primarily included multi-rigid-body dynamics analysis and finite element analysis. It is very important to make a more reasonable model and a practical simulation of human body which can help us design rehabilitation training equipment and intelligent prosthesis

Key words: human lower limb, modeling, simulation, multi-rigid-body, finite element, review
