Though simple in appearance, postural stabilization is a complex neuromuscular task
requiring coordination among multiple joints. Mechanisms of postural stability and control in …

(1) Background: Many young adults spend their time playing games and watching television.
This type of spending time should be used effectively, so it's worth adding exercise and …

We developed a balance measurement tool (the balanced reach test (BRT)) to assess
standing balance while reaching and pointing to a target moving in three-dimensional space …

The use of a suitably designed ankle-foot prosthesis is essential for transtibial amputees to
regain lost mobility. A desired ankle–foot prosthesis must be able to replicate the function of …

Abstract Objective Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) produce the majority of muscle
activation signals during gait whereas, reflexive signals from proprioception deal with …

Maintaining balance is an essential skill regulated by the central nervous system (CNS) that
helps humans to function effectively. Developing a physiologically motivated computational …

Individuals with stroke often have diminished muscle strength that contributes to impaired
push-off propulsion during walking, resulting in abnormal compensatory mechanisms and …

Sit-to-stand movement (STS) is a mundane activity, controlled by the central-nervous-system
(CNS) via a complex neurophysiological mechanism that involves coordination of limbs for …

An elementary computational framework, as a first step to an eventual comprehensive model
of human movement, is presented. Such a model in conjunction with anatomical …

Two issues are presented in this paper:(i) A perspective on the development of
computationally-based representation, modeling, control, and animation of human …
