Key points It is often assumed that central pattern generators, which generate rhythmic
patterns without rhythmic inputs, play a key role in the spinal control of human locomotion …

The link between gait parameters and hearing loss is not well understood. The objective of
this study was to investigate the effects of the gait ground reaction forces, their time to peak …

Introduction Varus knee alignment has been identified as a risk factor for the progression of
medial knee osteoarthritis. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated …

Falling injuries pose serious health risks to people of all ages, and knowing the extent of
exposure to irregular surfaces will increase the ability to measure fall risk. Current gait …

The major problem with transfemoral prostheses is their capacity to compensate for the loss
of the knee joint. The identification of gait-cycle phases plays an important role in the control …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of motor control training
on pain, disability and motor control indices in patients with nonspecific low back pain …

During the motion analysis, joint moments are calculated by the inverse dynamics method.
The ground reaction forces are representative input data for an application of the inverse …

Peak vertical tibial accelerations during running have shown strong correlations with vertical
ground reaction force loading rates and some associations with injury. However, little …

Background In individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis, reduced push-off force generation
in the paretic leg negatively impacts walking function. Gait training interventions that …

Background While successful subtalar joint arthrodesis provides pain relief, resultant
alterations in ankle biomechanics need to be considered, as this procedure may predispose …
