Purpose: to identify postural balance changes in subjects with low back pain after the
application of Kinesio Taping, which is then compared to a no treatment control group, using …

Context Arch height is one important aspect of foot posture. An estimated 20% of the
population has pes planus and 20% has pes cavus. These abnormal foot postures can alter …

This study aims to investigate the gait stability response during incline and decline walking
for various surface inclination angles in terms of the required coefficient of friction (RCOF) …

Lower limb fragility fractures require long-term rehabilitation and are also very expensive to
treat. Clinically, early weight bearing and walking stability were reported as key measures of …

Objective This study aims to investigate the plantar biomechanics of healthy young males as
they descend a single transition step from varying heights. Methods Thirty healthy young …

This study assessed the effectiveness of a passive back support exoskeleton during a
mechanical loading task. Fifteen healthy participants performed a simulated patient transfer …

Wearable ankle–foot orthoses (AFO) are widely prescribed clinically; however, their effect on
balance control during ramp ascent/descent walk remains unknown. This study evaluates …

This study aimed to analyze the development of direction specificities of temporal and
spatial control and the coordination pattern of anticipatory postural adjustment (APA) along …

Background The control of the center of mass is essential for a stable and efficient gait. Post-
stroke patients present several impairments, which may compromise the control of the center …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different vertical positions of an
asymmetrical load on the anticipatory postural adjustments phase of gait initiation. Sixty …
