Over the past half‐century, the largely hardwired central nervous system (CNS) of 1970 has
become the ubiquitously plastic CNS of today, in which change is the rule not the exception …

Key points The relationship between spatiotemporal gait asymmetry and walking energetics
is currently under debate. The split‐belt treadmill paradigm has been used to study …

Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by
severe disruption of cognitive and motor functions, including changes in posture and gait. A …

Exoskeleton assistance can reduce metabolic cost and increase preferred walking speed in
unimpaired and impaired groups, but individual outcomes are highly variable. Assistance …

An intrinsic characteristic of the motor system is the preference of one side of the body.
Lateralization is found in motor behavior and in the structural and functional correlates of …

There is a call to action for physiotherapists worldwide to contribute to the transition towards
'sustainable health'. In this paper, we build upon the current definition of 'sustainable …

Bilateral coordination of the lower extremities is an essential component of mobility. The
corpus callosum bridges the two hemispheres of the brain and is integral for the …

What morphological and functional factors allow for the unique and characteristic upright
striding walk of the hominin lineage? Predictive models of locomotion that arise from …

While constant speed gait is well understood, far less is known about how humans change
walking speed. It is also unknown if the transition steps smoothly morph between speeds, or …

The biomechanics of constant speed walking have been well quantified, but little is known
about transitions between walking speeds. Spatiotemporal behavior (step time, length, and …
