Carrying heavy loads results in biomechanical changes to gait and to an increased risk of
injury in soldiers. The aim of this review is to examine the effects of military specific load …

Manually carrying loads for a long distance and duration is highly physically demanding for
humans but commonly required in outdoor activities. With the rapid growth and …

The neuromuscular system responds to perturbation and increasing locomotor task difficulty
by altering the stability of neuromuscular output signals. The purpose of this study was to …

Introduction The modern female soldier has yet to be fully characterized as she steps up to
fill new combat roles that have only recently been opened to women. Both US and UK …

Carrying heavy loads may present certain biomechanical changes in special populations.
However, most of the existing research on whether or not different external loads impact gait …

In this paper, a literature study is presented on the types of objective measures that can
contribute to the prediction of (dis) comfort, the feasibility of measuring those factors, and the …

Load carriage is an inevitable daily task for soldiers. The purposes of this study were to
explore the extent to which gait variability (GV) is affected by load carriage and experience …

The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects on gait of carrying different
standardized police loads. In this cross-sectional study, we randomly recruited 30 special …

A little explored area of human activity recognition (HAR) is in people operating in relation to
extreme environments, eg, mountaineers. In these contexts, the ability to accurately identify …

Background Soldiers are required to conduct tasks and operations in physically demanding
situations, where the ability to move (mobility) quickly is important to lethality and …
