Currently, there is an intensive development of bipedal walking robots. The most known
solutions are based on the use of the principles of human gait created in nature during …

Estimation of individual muscle forces during human movement can provide insight into
neural control and tissue loading and can thus contribute to improved diagnosis and …

Muscle-driven simulations of human and animal motion are widely used to complement
physical experiments for studying movement dynamics. Musculotendon models are an …

It is fundamentally important for many animal ecologists to quantify the costs of animal
activities, although it is not straightforward to do so. The recording of triaxial acceleration by …

Dynamic simulations of movement allow one to study neuromuscular coordination, analyze
athletic performance, and estimate internal loading of the musculoskeletal system …

Several opensource or commercially available software platforms are widely used to
develop dynamic simulations of movement. While computational approaches are …

Evidence suggests that the nervous system controls motor tasks using a low-dimensional
modular organization of muscle activation. However, it is not clear if such an organization …

Research Methods in Biomechanics, Second Edition, demonstrates the range of available
research techniques and how to best apply this knowledge to ensure valid data collection. In …

Over time, leg prostheses have improved in design, but have been incapable of actively
adapting to different walking velocities in a manner comparable to a biological limb. People …

The emulation theory of representation is developed and explored as a framework that can
revealingly synthesize a wide variety of representational functions of the brain. The …
