• During walking and hopping with an exoskeleton, muscle force generation is a better
correlate to locomotion economy than previously measured mechanical work parameters.• …

Background We have shown that a prototype marathon racing shoe reduced the metabolic
cost of running for all 18 participants in our sample by an average of 4%, compared to two …

Here, we present the design of a novel unpowered ankle exoskeleton that is low profile,
lightweight, quiet, and low cost to manufacture, intrinsically adapts to different walking …

Accurate knowledge of knee kinematics is important for a better understanding of normal
joint function and for improving patient outcomes subsequent to joint reconstructive surgery …

The preparation of aluminium nanoparticles in large quantity is a challenge for most of the
synthesis processes available. The present investigation reports a top down approach …

The human foot is uniquely stiff to enable forward propulsion, yet also possesses sufficient
elasticity to act as an energy store, recycling mechanical energy during locomotion …

The mechanical output of a muscle may be characterised by having distinct functional
behaviours, which can shift to satisfy the varying demands of movement, and may vary …

The interaction between gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle and Achilles tendon, ie,
muscle-tendon unit (MTU) interaction, plays an important role in minimizing the metabolic …

Movement science investigating muscle and tendon functions during locomotion utilizes
commercial ultrasound imagers built for medical applications. These limit biomechanics …
