During human walking, the centre of mass (CoM) is outside the base of support for most of
the time, which poses a challenge to stabilizing the gait pattern. Nevertheless, most of us are …

The neural control of balance during locomotion is currently not well understood, even in the
light of considerable advances in research on balance during standing. In this paper, we lay …

In many simple walking models, foot placement dictates the center of pressure location and
ground reaction force components, whereas humans can modulate these aspects after foot …

Neural control of standing balance has been extensively studied. However, most falls occur
during walking rather than standing, and findings from standing balance research do not …

Walking on two legs is inherently unstable. Still, we humans perform remarkable well at it,
mostly without falling. To gain more understanding of the role of the brain in controlling gait …

Background Individuals with below-knee amputation have more difficulty balancing during
walking, yet few studies have explored balance enhancement through active prosthesis …

Individuals with lower limb amputation have a high fall risk, which could be partially due to a
lack of stabilizing control in conventional prostheses. Inspired by walking robots, we …

Background The postural control in cerebral palsy (CP) is often deficient and manifests in a
variety of impairments. Consequently, maintaining balance and controlling posture is …

Individuals with neuromuscular deficits often walk with wider step widths compared to
healthy adults. Wider steps have been linked to a higher destabilizing frontal-plane external …

Stable walking relies critically on motor responses to signals of head motion provided by the
vestibular system, which are phase-dependent and modulated differently within each …
