During human walking, the centre of mass (CoM) is outside the base of support for most of
the time, which poses a challenge to stabilizing the gait pattern. Nevertheless, most of us are …

We revisit the concept of synergy based on the recently translated classical book by Nikolai
Bernstein (On the construction of movements, Medgiz, Moscow 1947; Latash, Bernstein's …

Stability is an important concern during human walking and can limit mobility in clinical
populations. Mediolateral stability can be efficiently controlled through appropriate foot …

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 …

Gait instability is a common problem following stroke, as evidenced by increases in fall risk
and fear of falling. However, the mechanism underlying gait instability is currently unclear …

Computing the local dynamic stability using accelerometer data from inertial sensors has
recently been proposed as a gait measure which may be able to identify elderly people at …

To step over obstacles of varying heights, two distinct ongoing streams of activities—visual
exploration of the environment and gait adjustment—were required to occur concurrently …

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) of the neck/shoulder region affect a large portion of the
population, in particular, people who perform upper limb repetitive motions as part of their …

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 …

Background: Motor variability has been related to motor control playing a functional role in
human adaptive behaviours. However, the direction of the relationship between variability …
