Fluctuations in the repeated performance of human movements have been the subject of
intense scrutiny because they are generally believed to contain important information about …

This study investigated the feasibility of the uncontrolled manifold approach (UCM) to
analyse gait data variability in relation to the control of the centre of mass (COM) in adults …

Walking is a complex dynamic task that requires the regulation of whole-body angular
momentum to maintain dynamic balance while performing walking subtasks such as …

Unilateral, below-knee amputees have an increased risk of falling compared to non-
amputees. The regulation of whole-body angular momentum is important for preventing falls …

To ensure stability during gait, mediolateral placement of the swinging foot must be actively
regulated. Logically this occurs through end-point control of the swing limb trajectory, the …

Many studies have shown that focusing on an intended movement effect that is farther away
from the body (distal external focus) results in performance benefits relative to focusing on …

Within his multilevel scheme for the construction of movement, Nikolai Bernstein defined
synergies as neural organizations of elements with two functions:(1) to group elemental …

To understand the relationship between variability of foot placement in the frontal plane and
stability of gait patterns, we explored how constraining mediolateral foot placement during …

This study investigated the hypothesis that the coupled contribution of all body segments to
the whole-body response during both walking and managing unexpected perturbations is …

The biomechanical mechanism of lateral trunk lean gait employed to reduce external knee
adduction moment (KAM) for knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients is not well known. This …
