Although constant-average-velocity walking has been extensively studied, less is known
about walking maneuvers that change speed. We investigated the function of individual leg …

Humans can run without falling down, usually despite uneven terrain or occasional pushes.
Even without such external perturbations, intrinsic sources like sensorimotor noise perturb …

Background Older adults are more susceptible to balance perturbations during walking than
young adults. However, we lack an individual joint-level understanding of how aging affects …

Background For stroke survivors, balance deficits that persist after the completion of the
rehabilitation process lead to a significant risk of falls. We have recently developed a …

The capacity to recover after a perturbation is a well-known intrinsic property of physiological
systems, including the locomotor system, and can be termed 'resilience'. Despite an …

Investigating of locomotor disturbances are relevant in human injury and performance.
Therefore, lower extremity kinematics were analysed in response to decelerative …

In this study we investigated balancing responses to lateral perturbations during slow
walking (0.85 m/s). A group of seven healthy individuals walked on an instrumented …

Assessment of biomechanical features whilst running on an uneven terrain plays an
important role in identifying running-related injury mechanisms. However, feedback and …

Background After a single slip, older adults rapidly make adaptive changes to avoid or
eliminate further backward loss of balance or a fall. This rapid adaptation has been termed …

Locomotion requires coordination of leg joints to maintain stability and to maneuver. We
studied leg joint function during constant-average-velocity running and the sagittal-plane …
