Background Although motor abnormalities have been flagged as potentially the most
sensitive and specific clinical features for predicting the future progression to Parkinson's …

Background Control of reactive balance is key to achieving safe independent walking and
engagement in life activities. After traumatic brain injury (TBI), motor impairments and …

Technology-based outcomes have recently been proposed to complement the standard
Four Square Step Test (FSST) by providing a decomposition of the sequences and …

Aims We investigated relationships among the Pediatric Neuromuscular Recovery Scale
(Peds NRS), modified Hoffer Scale, and spatiotemporal gait parameters in children with …

Background Force platforms are widely used in biomechanics to measure ground reaction
forces (GRF) during various human movements. However, traditional force plates are not …

Multiple obstacle avoidance induces a higher potential of falls among older adults. This
study attempted to add other important measurements by investigating the pressure-related …

An efficient obstacle avoidance strategy when stepping over a single obstacle was reported
in the literature–the total impulse of the leading and of the trailing legs are equal even …

Functional stability is crucial to the daily activity of an independent person. Functional
balance testing is widely used in laboratories and has proven to be a reliable indicator of fall …

The ability to walk while completing a secondary task, dual-task walking (DTW), poses
notable challenges for individuals affected by neurological disorders, such as multiple …

When stepping over a single obstacle, despite of some spatiotemporal parameter changes,
the impulse of the leading and trailing leg stays the same. This is considered an efficient …
