Human walking is usually conceived as the cyclic rotation of the limbs. The goal of lower-
limb movements, however, is the forward translation of the body system, which can be …

Technological development of motion and posture analyses is rapidly progressing,
especially in rehabilitation settings and sport biomechanics. Consequently, clear …

Objectives To offer a user's guide to select appropriate measures of motor competence for
children and adolescents. Design Expert consensus among a working group of the …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) has been the subject of thousands of scientific articles,
but many barriers limit its clinical applications. Previous work has indicated that the lack of …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is the main non-invasive tool used to record the electrical
activity of muscles during dynamic tasks. In clinical gait analysis, a number of techniques …
