Abstract Changes in old age that contribute to the complex issue of an increased metabolic
cost of walking (mass-specific energy cost per unit distance traveled) in older adults appear …

Abstract In 2023, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Health
(NIH) brought together engineers, scientists, and clinicians by sponsoring a conference on …

Muscle-driven simulations have provided valuable insights in studies of walking and
running, but a set of freely available simulations and corresponding experimental data for …

The energy efficiency theory of human bipedal locomotion has been widely accepted as a
neuro-musculoskeletal control method. However, coactivation of agonist and antagonist …

Walking on a split-belt treadmill elicits an adaptation response that changes baseline step
length asymmetry. The underlying causes of this adaptation, however, are difficult to …

Metabolic cost greatly impacts trade-offs within a variety of human movements. Standard
respiratory measurements only obtain the mean cost of a movement cycle, preventing …

Background Robot-assisted gait training is incorporated into guidelines for stroke
rehabilitation. It is a promising tool combined with conventional therapy for low ambulatory …

Background: Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are a type of assistive device that can improve the
walking ability of individuals with neurological disorders. Adjusting stiffness is a common …

Background A common perspective in post-stroke gait training is that walking at the fastest
safe speed maximizes the quality of gait biomechanics, with limited detrimental effects on …

The prevalence of stroke in Indonesia continues to increase, so there is a need for mobility
assistance. In today's era, high mobility is necessary to live with freedom, but stroke sufferers …
