The purpose of this article is to establish a prediction model of joint movements and realize the prediction of joint movemenst, and the research results are of reference value for the development of the rehabilitation equipment. This will be carried out by analyzing the impact of surface electromyography (sEMG) on ankle movements and using the Hill model as a framework for calculating ankle joint torque. The table and scheme used in the experiments were based on physiological parameters obtained through the model. Data analysis was performed on ankle joint angle signal, movement signal, and sEMG data from nine subjects during dorsiflexion/flexion, varus, and internal/external rotation. The Hill model was employed to determine 16 physiological parameters which were optimized using a genetic algorithm. Three experiments were carried out to identify the optimal model to calculate torque and root mean square error. The optimized model precisely calculated torque and had a root mean square error of under 1.4 in comparison to the measured torque. Ankle movement models predict torque patterns with accuracy, thereby providing a solid theoretical basis for ankle rehabilitation control. The optimized model provides a theoretical foundation for precise ankle torque forecasts, thereby improving the efficacy of rehabilitation robots for the ankle.
