This paper presents the design, modeling, analysis, fabrication, and experimental
characterization of the soft robotic ankle-foot orthosis (SR-AFO), which is a wearable soft …

Ankle destabilizing devices were developed to improve the recruitment of the evertor
muscles. Nevertheless, the activity of lower-leg muscles has never been compared to each …

Objective Determine whether hip abductor muscle fatigue influenced ankle kinematic and
muscle activity during ankle‐destabilized tasks. Design Cross‐sectional study. Methods …

Static balance and dynamic balance are crucial to an athlete's motor skills and are pivotal
determinants of performance in team sports (TS) players. Training to enhance balance …

Objective: Ankle joint stiffness is known to be modulated by co-contraction of the ankle
muscles; however, it is unclear to what extent changes in agonist muscle activation alone …

Sleep deprivation alters cognitive and sensorimotor function, but its effects on the control of
standing balance are inconclusive. The vestibular system is critical for standing balance …

This study aimed to characterize ankle and hindfoot kinematics of healthy men and women
during overground running using biplane radiography, and to compare these data to those …

Understanding the characteristics of shoulder joint stiffness can offer insights into how the
shoulder joint contributes to arm stability and assists in various arm postures and …

Background Ankle joint stiffness and viscosity are fundamental mechanical descriptions that
govern the movement of the body and impact an individual's walking ability. Hence, these …

Simple Summary The extremities of the fibula may reflect differences between males and
females, although so far only few studies included this bone for post-cranial sex assessment …
