We reviewed neural control and biomechanical description of gait in both non-disabled and
post-stroke subjects. In addition, we reviewed most of the gait rehabilitation strategies …

This review describes how computational modeling can be combined with noninvasive gait
measurements to describe and explain muscle and joint function in human locomotion. Five …

Evidence suggests that the nervous system controls motor tasks using a low-dimensional
modular organization of muscle activation. However, it is not clear if such an organization …

Research Methods in Biomechanics, Second Edition, demonstrates the range of available
research techniques and how to best apply this knowledge to ensure valid data collection. In …

Over time, leg prostheses have improved in design, but have been incapable of actively
adapting to different walking velocities in a manner comparable to a biological limb. People …

The objective of this study was to develop an efficient methodology for generating muscle-
actuated simulations of human walking that closely reproduce experimental measures of …

Muscles actuate walking by providing vertical support and forward progression of the mass
center. To quantify muscle contributions to vertical support and forward progression (ie …

Recent evidence suggests that performance of complex locomotor tasks such as walking
may be accomplished using a simple underlying organization of co-active muscles, or …

For kinesiology professionals, qualitative movement diagnosis (QMD) is a critical skill in
helping individuals improve performance or reduce the risk of injury. Qualitative Diagnosis of …

We developed a pneumatically powered orthosis for the human ankle joint. The orthosis
consisted of a carbon fiber shell, hinge joint, and two artificial pneumatic muscles. One …
