It is well known that balance control is affected by aging, neurological and orthopedic
conditions. Poor balance control during gait and postural maintenance are associated with …

Recent evidence suggests that during volitional stepping older adults control whole-body
angular momentum (H) less effectively than younger adults, which may impose a greater …

Objective Understanding the factors and mechanisms that determine balance in seniors
appears vital in terms of their self-reliance and overall safety. The study aimed to determine …

Purpose Since construction workers often need to carry various types of loads in their daily
routine, they are at risk of sustaining musculoskeletal injuries. Additionally, carrying a load …

In exoskeleton research, transparency is the degree to which a device hinders the
movement of the user, a critical component of performance and usability. Transparency is …

Background Ankle mobility is known to be of uttermost importance to generate propulsive
forces and control balance during gait initiation. Impaired mobility of the postural chain …

Featured Application This study is a first step for real-time monitoring the risk of falls during
gait. Abstract The goal of this study was to analyze instability during stepping at different …

Balance control and whole-body progression during gait initiation (GI) involve knee-joint
mobility. Single knee-joint hypomobility often occurs with aging, orthopedics or neurological …

Evidence suggests that whole-body angular momentum (WBAM) is a highly controlled
mechanical variable for performing our daily motor activities safely and efficiently. Recent …

Gait initiation (GI), the transient period between quiet standing and locomotion, is a
functional task classically used in the literature to investigate postural control. This study …
