Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a progressive growth disease that affects spinal
anatomy, mobility, and left-right trunk symmetry. Consequently, AIS can modify human …

Analysis of the COM or COP movement has been a simplified method to illustrate the
balance disorders in static stance and gait, but has its limitation when examined alone …

Walking is a very common activity for the human body. It is so common that the
musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems are optimized to have the minimum energetic …

In human biped gait, movements in the frontal plane such as side-to-side rocking, are as
essential as the alternating movement of the legs in the sagittal plane. In addition, the top …

Three-dimensional (3D) path of the body centre of mass (CM) over an entire stride was
computed from ground reaction forces during walking at constant average speed on a …

Background Understanding typical gait development is critical in developing suitable
physical therapy methods for gait disorders. This study investigated the developmental …

Background context A previous study showed subtle biomechanical changes in the gait of
unbraced adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients such as a reduction of pelvic, hip …

Background: The movement disorders due to stroke can alter the motion of the Center of
Mass (CoM) of the body. Thus, the analysis of the CoM motion can be an alternative to …

Balance control during gait initiation was studied using center of pressure (CoP) data from
force plate measurements. Twenty-four participants were divided into four age groups:(1) 2 …

Here, we studied posture and movement coordination adopted by expert climbers. The
investigation of such expertise might be of particular interest to gain understanding about the …
