Abstract Purpose of Review This article presents an overview of the main technologies used
to estimate gait parameters, focusing on walking speed (WS). Recent Findings New …

In human bipedal walking, the plantar surface of the foot is in contact with the floor surface,
so that a vertical free moment (VFM), a torque about a vertical axis acting at the centre-of …

Humans naturally select conditions to minimize their net cost of transport (COT) during
walking. One way to do this is by exploiting the mechanical benefit of arm swing which …

Background Appropriate control of whole-body angular momentum (H) is crucial to maintain
dynamic balance and thus avoid falling during daily activities. Poor H control ability during …

The human foot provides numerous functions that let humans deal with various
environments. Recently, study of the structure of the human foot and adjustment of an …

Pedestrian structures regularly exhibit excessive vibrations when they are dynamically
excited by human activities. Traditional modeling approaches neglect, due to the lack of …

Results The sand surface significantly reduced the impact force compared to the PVC and
artificial turf. Both sand and artificial turf caused a significant reduction in the force loading …

抄録 Torsional stress is observed in the lower extremity during walking. The feet tend to
rotate even though they are in contact with the ground, causing friction. Lower extremity …

This thesis explores critical advancements in bipedal and humanoid robotics, focusing on
improving slip-turning maneuvers through the integration of musculoskeletal structures, toe …

Individuals with history of primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR)
demonstrate aberrant walking biomechanics such as reduced vertical ground reaction …
