Physics of Biological Action and Perception helps researchers interested in exploring
biological motor control from a physics or alternative viewpoint perspective. The book …

The purposes of this study were to determine if healthy older adults adopt strategies to
decrease the likelihood of obstacle contact, and to determine how these strategies are …

We applied the theory of synergies to analyze the processes that lead to unintentional
decline in isometric fingertip force when visual feedback of the produced force is removed …

Living systems may be defined as systems able to organize new, biology-specific, laws of
physics and modify their parameters for specific tasks. Examples include the force-length …

Simple Summary Physical therapy and rehabilitation are emerging in veterinary medicine,
and more research is needed to understand the effect of various exercises on kinematics …

We combined the theory of neural control of movement with referent coordinates and the
uncontrolled manifold hypothesis to investigate multifinger coordination. We tested …

High foot elevation during obstacle crossing is viewed as a conservative strategy in older
adults, but excessive foot elevation may result in large mediolateral center of mass (CoM) …

Mixed-reality technologies are evolving rapidly, allowing for gradually more realistic
interaction with digital content while moving freely in real-world environments. In this study …

An association between cognitive impairment and tripping over obstacles during locomotion
in older adults has been suggested. However, owing to its memory-guided movement …

The Four Square Step Test (FSST) was developed in 2002 to measure the rapid stepping
that is often required when changing direction and avoiding obstacles while walking. 1 …
