Human walking is usually conceived as the cyclic rotation of the limbs. The goal of lower-
limb movements, however, is the forward translation of the body system, which can be …

Abstract Background The Margin of Stability (MoS) is a widely used objective measure of
dynamic stability during gait. Increasingly, researchers are using the MoS to assess the …

The accurate and reliable assessment of gait parameters is assuming an important role,
especially in the perspective of designing new therapeutic and rehabilitation strategies for …

Stroke is one of the most significant causes of permanent functional impairment and severe
motor disability. Hemiplegia or hemiparesis are common consequences of the acute event …

The analysis of the body center of mass (BCoM) 3D kinematics provides insights on crucial
aspects of locomotion, especially in populations with gait impairment such as people with …

Abstract Background The Center of mass (CoM) analysis reveals important aspects of gait
dynamic stability of stroke patients, but the variety of methods and measures represents a …

Many patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) have impaired gait and balance
capacity, which may impact daily functioning. Reduced walking speed and impaired gait …

Balance studies usually focus on quantities describing the global body motion. Assessing
such quantities using classical marker-based approach can be tedious and modify the …

Introduction: Several investigations have examined utilizing inertial measurement units
(IMU) to estimate ground reaction force (GRF) during exercise. The purpose of this …

This paper presents a method allowing a simple and efficient sensitivity analysis of
dynamics parameters of complex whole-body human model. The proposed method is based …
