Background Aging is often associated with changes in the musculoskeletal system,
peripheral and central nervous system. These age-related changes often result in mobility …

Background Habitual walking speed predicts many clinical conditions later in life, but it
declines with age. However, which particular exercise intervention can minimize the age …

Human Identification Based on Gait is the first book to address gait as a biometric.
Biometrics is now in a unique position where it affects most people's lives. This is especially …

Background Age-related gait changes may play a critical role in functional limitations of
older adults. Despite sizable interest in determining how age alters walking mechanics …

Previous studies have identified differences in gait kinetics between healthy older and
young adults. However, the underlying factors that cause these changes are not well …

Aim: To investigate mechanical work, efficiency, and antagonist muscle co‐activation with a
view to better understand the cause of the elevated metabolic cost of walking (CW) in older …

In this paper, we study the human locomotor adaptation to the action of a powered
exoskeleton providing assistive torque at the user's hip during walking. To this end, we …

The paper reports the performance of a low-cost markerless system for 3D human motion
detection and tracking, consisting of the open-source library OpenPose, two webcams and a …

Although much of the literature on neuromuscular changes with aging has focused on loss
of muscle mass and isometric strength, deficits in muscle power are more pronounced with …

The increased use of gait analysis has raised the need for a better understanding of how
walking speed and demographic variations influence asymptomatic gait. Previous analyses …
