Background: Modern gait analysis offers a broad variety of biomechanical parameters
through which to quantify gait. However, no consensus has yet been established with …

Unilateral, below-knee amputees have an increased risk of falling compared to non-
amputees. The regulation of whole-body angular momentum is important for preventing falls …

The regulation of whole-body angular momentum is important for maintaining dynamic
balance during human walking, which is particularly challenging in the frontal plane. Whole …

Angular momentum is highly regulated over the gait cycle and is important for maintaining
dynamic stability and control of movement. However, little is known regarding how angular …

This work presents a hierarchical framework for bipedal locomotion that combines a
Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based high-level (HL) planner policy for the online generation …

The generation of whole-body angular momentum is essential in many locomotor tasks and
must be regulated in order to maintain dynamic balance. However, angular momentum has …

Each year approximately one third of older adults fall and experience extensive
musculoskeletal injuries and functional disabilities. An important element in maintaining …

We studied the coordination of body segments during treadmill walking. Specifically, we
used the uncontrolled manifold hypothesis framework to quantify the segmental angular …

Background Turning is a frequently performed, asymmetric task of daily living. The
asymmetric nature makes turning challenging to perform while maintaining balance …

This study investigated the hypothesis that the coupled contribution of all body segments to
the whole-body response during both walking and managing unexpected perturbations is …
