A symmetric gait pattern in humans reflects near-identical movement in bilateral limbs during
walking. However, little is known about how gait symmetry changes on different inclines …

Energy efficiency is crucial in developing transtibial prostheses, encompassing two main
aspects: amputee metabolic cost and prosthetic energy consumption. The parallel elastic …

Although humans are well-adapted to negotiating sloped terrain, balance recovery after a
disturbance on slopes is poorly understood. This study investigated how slope affects …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different volleyball-specific attentional
focus instructions on arm velocities of a volleyball spike in young female volleyball players …

Uphill walking is a common task encountered in daily life, with steeper inclines potentially
imposing greater biomechanical and neuromuscular demands on the human body. The heel …

Human gait is a key biomarker for health, independence and quality of life. Advances in
wearable inertial sensor technologies have paved the way for out-of-the-lab human gait …

Background To estimate gait variability, several methods have been routinely used which
provide a measure of global variability. A recent study introduced a group waveform …

Assessment of hip joint reaction force (JRF) is one of the analytical methods that can enable
an understanding of the healthy walking index and the propensity towards disease. In this …

Background: Stability is one of the key demands in human locomotion including running.
Various kinematical analytical approaches are adopted to investigate the running strategies; …

Mobile phone use affects the dynamics of gait by impairing visual control of the surrounding
environment and introducing additional cognitive demands. Although it has been shown that …
