Human gait is the result of a complex and fascinating cooperation between different joints
and segments in the lower extremity. This study aims at investigating the existence of this …

The mechanical properties of human joints (ie, impedance) are constantly modulated to
precisely govern human interaction with the environment. The estimation of these properties …

Prosthetic foot selection for individuals with lower limb amputation relies primarily on
clinician judgment. The prosthesis user rarely has an opportunity to provide experiential …

The kinetics analysis of ankle, knee and hip joints during gait is fundamental for
rehabilitation and clinical diagnosis but data are commonly obtained by means of the …

The human foot–ankle complex uses heel-to-toe ground contact progression in walking, but
primarily forefoot contact in high-speed running. This qualitative change in ankle control is …

An approach using physical-sensor difference and virtual-sensor difference based algorithm
to visually and quantitatively confirm lower limb posture was proposed and a wearable …

Advances in understanding the effects the mechanical characteristics of prosthetic feet on
user biomechanics have enabled passive prostheses to improve the walking pattern of …

Musculoskeletal modeling and simulation techniques have been used to gain insights into
movement disabilities for many populations, such as ambulatory children with cerebral palsy …

In the absence of standardized symmetry assessments, quantifying symmetry based on the
kinematic evolution of lower extremity joints can elucidate gait irregularities. The objective …

The linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is a classical optimal control approach that can
regulate gait dynamics about target kinematic trajectories. Exoskeletons to restore gait …
