Introduction The use of a simple, safe, and easy to perform assessment tool, like gait speed,
to evaluate vulnerability to adverse outcomes in community-dwelling older people is …

Simultaneous performance of a postural and a concurrent task is rather unproblematic as
long as the postural task is executed in an automatic way. However, in situations where …

Evolutionary pressures have led humans to walk in a highly efficient manner that conserves
energy, making it difficult for exoskeletons to reduce the metabolic cost of walking. Despite …

Understanding degeneration of biological and prosthetic knee joints requires knowledge of
the in-vivo loading environment during activities of daily living. Musculoskeletal models can …

Gait abnormalities are typically derived from neurological conditions or orthopaedic
problems and can cause severe consequences such as limited mobility and falls. Gait …

In this paper, we study the human locomotor adaptation to the action of a powered
exoskeleton providing assistive torque at the user's hip during walking. To this end, we …

The purpose of this study was to clarify the difference in muscle coactivation during postural
control between older and young adults and to identify the characteristics of postural control …

Our goal was to determine how age and walking speed affect metabolic cost of walking
(Cw), lower, extremity antagonist coactivation, and relationships between coactivation and …

Although much of the literature on neuromuscular changes with aging has focused on loss
of muscle mass and isometric strength, deficits in muscle power are more pronounced with …

The increased use of gait analysis has raised the need for a better understanding of how
walking speed and demographic variations influence asymptomatic gait. Previous analyses …
