simultaneously) and the subsequent inter-task interference have shown that locomotion and …

Human walking is usually conceived as the cyclic rotation of the limbs. The goal of lower-
limb movements, however, is the forward translation of the body system, which can be …

Falls are the main contributor to both fatal and nonfatal injuries in elderly individuals as well
as significant sources of morbidity and mortality, which are mostly induced by impaired …

Brain health attracts more recent attention as the population ages. Smartphone-based gait
sensing and analysis can help identify the risks of brain diseases in daily life for prevention …

This study aims to improve our understanding of gait initiation mechanisms and the lower-
limb joint mechanical energy contributions. Healthy subjects were instructed to initiate gait …

Freezing of gait (FOG) is a sudden episodic inability to produce effective stepping despite
the intention to walk. It typically occurs during gait initiation (GI) or modulation and may lead …

Background Although chronic low back pain (LBP) is a complex condition often associated
with altered motor control and compensatory postural adjustments, existing literature …

Background Gait initiation is challenging for older individuals with poor physical function,
particularly for those with frailty. Frailty is a geriatric syndrome associated with increased risk …
