Load carriage (LC) is a contributing factor to musculoskeletal injury in many occupations.
Given that falls are a common mechanism of injury for those frequently engaging in LC …

Anterior load carriage is common in occupational work and daily activities. Our primary
purpose was to systematically review previous work concerning the biomechanics of …

Understanding the modulations of motor control in the presence of perturbations in task
conditions of varying complexity is a key element towards the design of effective perturbation …

The study evaluated characteristics of non-fatal mountain hiking accidents caused by falls.
Questionnaires were sent to mountain hikers who suffered a fall-related accident in Tyrol …

Most workplace musculoskeletal injuries result from slip-related falls while carrying a load.
Although prior studies inspected the effects of front load carriage on spatiotemporal gait …

Introduction During cyclical steady state ambulation, such as walking, variability in stride
intervals can indicate the state of the system. In order to define locomotor system function …

The aim of the study was to determine the stability and complexity of muscle synergies to
provide insight to the neural control of gait stability in walking and running and when …

Hikers and soldiers usually walk up and down slopes with a load carriage, causing injuries
of the musculoskeletal system, especially during a prolonged load journey. The slope …

Background Anteriorly-loaded walking is common in many occupations and may increase
fall risk. Dynamic gait stability, defined by the Feasible Stability Region (FSR) theory …

Healthy adult humans can walk and run with ease, yet it takes years to develop stable and
economical locomotion. This apparent ease is the result of multiple degrees of freedom at …
