A method for creating a realistic human gait for a dummy with a leg comprising an articulating hip joint and knee joint, wherein the gait comprises a gait cycle is disclosed. The method includes (a) define the duration of the stance phase and swing phase; (b) determine the position of the dummy within the gait cycle; (c) calculate a knee angle based on: (1) the position of step (b), and (2) whether the position is in the stance phase or the swing phase; and (d) calculate a hip angle based on: (1) the knee angle of step (c), (2) the position of step (b), and (3) whether the position is in the stance phase or the swing phase.
