Musculoskeletal simulations can be used to estimate biomechanical variables like muscle forces and joint torques from non-invasive experimental data using inverse and forward …
Individuals with spinal cord injury suffer from seated instability due to impaired trunk neuromuscular function. Monitoring seated stability toward the development of closed-loop …
Background Motion assessment of the body's head-arms-trunk (HAT) using linked-segment models, along with an inverse dynamics approach, can enable in vivo estimations of inter …
Objective. Determining the roles of underlying mechanisms involved in stabilizing the human trunk during sitting is a fundamental challenge in human motor control. However …
Objective. Characterizing the task goals of the neural control system for achieving seated stability has been a fundamental challenge in human motor control research. This study …
Elderly individuals and those affected by neuromuscular disorders are frequently not able to independently maintain seated balance. As a result, these individuals are limited in …
Falls are one of the most frequent causes of injury in the elderly and ambulatory individuals with neuromuscular impairments. Standing balance impairment is among the most …
