During human walking, the centre of mass (CoM) is outside the base of support for most of
the time, which poses a challenge to stabilizing the gait pattern. Nevertheless, most of us are …

Background Physical and functional losses due to aging and diseases decrease human
mobility, independence, and quality of life. This study is aimed at summarizing and …

Adopting a new technology (exoskeletal vest designed to support overhead work) in the
workplace can be challenging since the technology may pose unexpected safety and health …

Stability is an important concern during human walking and can limit mobility in clinical
populations. Mediolateral stability can be efficiently controlled through appropriate foot …

Step-by-step variations occur during normal human walking, induced in part by imperfect
sensorimotor control and naturally occurring random perturbations. These effects might …

Current thinking views mild head impact (ie, subconcussion) as an underrecognized
phenomenon that has the ability to cause significant current and future detrimental …

Introduction: Falling is one of the primary concerns for people with Parkinson's Disease and
occurs predominately during dynamic movements, such as walking. Several methods have …

Young, healthy adults walking at typical preferred speeds use step-by-step adjustments of
step width to appropriately redirect their center of mass motion and ensure mediolateral …

Background A longitudinal repeated measures design over pregnancy and post-birth, with a
control group would provide insight into the mechanical adaptations of the body under …

Walking on two legs is inherently unstable. Still, we humans perform remarkable well at it,
mostly without falling. To gain more understanding of the role of the brain in controlling gait …
