Stairways are a common location for falls, and they result in a disproportionate risk of death
or severe injury. Stairway falls are a significant problem across the lifespan and are often …

Walking can be exceedingly complex to analyze due to highly nonlinear multibody
dynamics, nonlinear relationships between muscle excitations and resulting muscle forces …

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 …

This study presents an experimental data-set describing movement and behaviours of pre-
school children. Data is presented together with detailed information about the evacuation …

Stairs are usually one of the most important evacuation routes in emergencies, such as
serious fire accidents or other emergencies. However, experimental data on human …

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

Stair ambulation is more physically demanding than level walking because it requires the
lower-limb muscles to generate greater net joint moments. Although lower-limb joint …

This article presents experimental data sets about the evacuation movement and behaviour
of preschool children observed during 15 evacuation drills in 10 nursery schools in the …

Movements on stairs have attracted a lot of researchers to study in order to help evacuate as
fast as possible. However, there has been much less awareness for this issue on preference …

Stair ascent is an activity of daily living and necessary for maintaining independence in
community environments. One challenge to improving an individual's ability to ascend stairs …
