Understanding of the human body's internal processes to maintain balance is fundamental
to simulate postural control behaviour. The body uses multiple sensory systems' information …

Impairments of balance and gait leading to loss of mobility, falls, and disability are common
occurrences in many neurologic conditions and with older age. Much of our current …

Clinical gait analysis attempts to provide, in a pathological context, an objective record that
quantifies the magnitude of deviations from normal gait. However, the identification of …

Many studies have reported that the human body-balance ability was essential in the early
detection and self-management of chronic diseases. However, devices to measure balance …

Back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) are a promising ergonomic intervention for reducing
physical demands on the low-back, but little is known regarding whether BSE use alters …

Standing and sitting are basic tasks that become increasingly difficult with age or frailty.
Assisting these movements using humanoid robots is a complex challenge, particularly in …

This study investigates the response of standing passengers on public transport who
experience balance perturbations during non-collision incidents. The objective of the study …

Background Stroke-related sensory and motor deficits often steal away the independent
mobility and balance from stroke survivors. Often, this compels the stroke survivors to rely …

Instability and risk of fall during standing and walking are common challenges for biped
robots. While existing criteria from state-space dynamical systems approach or ground …

Human-like balance controllers are desired for wearable exoskeletons in order to enhance
human-robot interaction. Momentum-based controllers (MBC) have been successfully …
