Backward locomotion is used increasingly in sports and rehabilitation. However, it is unclear
whether training effects of backward walking (BW)/backward running (BR) can be …

Successful locomotion depends on postural control to establish and maintain appropriate
postural orientation of body segments relative to one another and to the environment and to …

The aim of this study was to perform full-body three-dimensional (3D) dynamic optimization
simulations of human locomotion by driving a neuromusculoskeletal model toward in vivo …

Recently there has been a growing interest in the modular organization of leg movements, in
particular those related to locomotion. One of the basic modules involves the flexion of the …

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

The aim of this study was to relate the contribution of lower limb joint moments and
individual muscle forces to the body centre of mass (COM) vertical and horizontal …

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of backward walking in the treatment of people
with gait impairments related to neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. Design …

Abstract Background People with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) lose the ability in backward
walking which is an important part of mobility in daily life. The 3-m backward walk test …

Backward walking offers a unique challenge to balance and ambulation. This study
investigated the characteristics of spatiotemporal gait factors and ankle kinematics during …

Scaled generic musculoskeletal models are commonly used to drive dynamic simulations of
motions. It is however, acknowledged that not accounting for variability in musculoskeletal …
