Abstract Background Gait Initiation (GI) is a functional task representing one of the first
voluntary destabilizing behaviours observed in the development of a locomotor pattern as …

Increasing evidence has shown that biomechanical forces often drive the progression of
knee osteoarthritis (OA). Attention should be given to the changes in adjacent joints and …

Despite the pervasive nature of gait impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS), there is limited
information concerning the control of gait termination in individuals with MS. The purpose of …

For fast-moving legged robots, the ability to stop rapidly is essential if they are to move safely
through unpredictable environments. There is a trade-off between stability and rapidity …

Transitory tasks, such as gait termination, involve interactions between neural and
biomechanical factors that challenge postural stability and head stabilization patterns in …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of resistant gait training with
proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on the walking and balancing abilities of …

The ability to walk may be critically impacted as the result of neurological injury or disease.
While recent advances in brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) have demonstrated the feasibility …
