Skeletal muscle is the engine that powers what is arguably the most essential and defining
feature of human and animal life—locomotion. Muscles function to change length and …

Over the past 50 years our understanding of the central role that muscle motion has in
powering movement has accelerated significantly. Fundamental to this progress has been …

Hundred years ago, Fenn demonstrated that when a muscle shortens faster, its energy
liberation increases. Fenn's results were the first of many that led to the general …

The aim of this study was to investigate the interplay between the force–length (F–L) and
force–velocity (F–V) potentials of gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle fascicles, the …

Purpose In professional football (soccer), Achilles tendon ruptures are severe injuries. Video
analysis promotes a better understanding of the underlying situational and biomechanical …

Gait movement is an important activity in daily human life. The coordination of gait
movement is directly affected by the cooperation and functional connectivity between …

The soleus is the main muscle for propulsion during human running but its operating
behavior across the spectrum of physiological running speeds is currently unknown. This …

The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to measure and compare six‐degree‐of‐
freedom (6‐DOF) knee joint motion of three total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant designs …

Lower limb exoskeletons and exosuits (“exos”) are traditionally designed with a strong focus
on mechatronics and actuation, whereas the “human side” is often disregarded or minimally …

Powered exoskeletons are typically task-specific, but to facilitate their wider adoption they
should support a variety of tasks, which requires generalizeable controller designs. In this …
