Underwater walking is one of the most common hydrotherapeutic exercises. Therefore,
understanding muscular control during underwater walking is important for optimizing …

Humans show a variety of locomotor behaviours in daily living, varying in locomotor modes
and interaction styles with the external environment. However, how this excellent motor …

Previous studies found significant modification in spatiotemporal parameters of backward
walking in healthy older adults, but the age-related changes in the neuromuscular control …

Background Gait is a complex, whole-body movement that requires the coordinated action of
multiple joints and muscles of our musculoskeletal system. In the context of Duchenne …

Purpose Humans are amongst few animals that step first on the heel, and then roll on the
ball of the foot and toes. While this heel-to-toe rolling pattern has been shown to render an …

Background Inter-joint coordination and variability during gait provide insight into control
and adaptability of the neuromuscular system. To date, coordination research has been …

Locomotor movements are accommodated to various surface conditions by means of
specific locomotor adjustments. This study examined underlying age-related differences in …

Although humans are well-adapted to negotiating sloped terrain, balance recovery after a
disturbance on slopes is poorly understood. This study investigated how slope affects …

Background: Inclined walking is a challenging task that requires active neuromuscular
control to maintain stability. However, the adaptive strategies that preserve stability during …

Terrestrial locomotion requires coordinated bilateral activation of limb muscles, with left–
right alternation in walking or running, and synchronous activation in hopping or skipping …
