Background Impairments of trunk movements in gait of stroke are often reported. Ankle foot
orthosis (AFO) is commonly used to improve gait of stroke; however, the effect of different …

We investigated how baboons transition from quadrupedal to bipedal walking without any
significant interruption in their forward movement (ie transition 'on the fly'). Building on basic …

Bipedal locomotion was a major functional change during hominin evolution, yet, our
understanding of this gradual and complex process remains strongly debated. Based on …

The transition to bipedal locomotion was a fundamental milestone in human evolution.
Consequently, the human skeleton underwent substantial morphological adaptations. These …

The adaptive reason (s) as to why some tetrapods walk or run on only two legs is far from
straightforward. Compared to a quadruped, maintaining balance is obviously challenging for …

To date, the use of positive reinforcement techniques to study locomotion in non-human
primates remains poorly developed. However, using cooperative animals that can freely …

The goal of this paper is to design and test an unmotorized ankle exoskeleton inspired by
chimpanzees. The desired result is pronounced pelvic list movement more akin to that of a …

As a short adult, I marvel at the long strides taken by tall people. Their lengthy legs devour
metres relative to my stubby trotting limbs. But compared with the strides of our closest …
