Arthritic disorders have become one of the main contributors to the global burden of disease.
Today, they are one of the leading causes of chronic pain and disability worldwide. Current …

Background: Lower limb osteoarthritis (OA) often generates musculoskeletal pain causing
functional impairment and decreasing mobility, autonomy, and quality of life. Patients with …

Locomotion of tetrapods on land adapted to different environments and needs resulting in a
variety of different gait styles. However, comparative analyses reveal common principles of …

Locomotion is a complex behaviour that requires the coordination of multiple body segments
and muscle groups. Here we investigated how the weakness and spasticity in individuals …

Background The movement coordination in patients with knee osteoarthritis may be
impaired and the identification of the deficits in lower limb inter-segmental coordination is …

Background Intersegmental coordination between thigh, shank, and foot plays a crucial role
in human gait, facilitating stable and efficient human walking. Limb elevation angles during …

Background Unilateral lower limb amputees have asymmetrical gaits, particularly on
irregular surfaces and slopes. It is unclear how coordination between arms and legs can …

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a congenital disease of connective tissue most often due to
a dominant mutation of the type I collagen gene (1). The estimated prevalence of OI is …

Background: Hip osteoarthritis generates very often musculoskeletal pain causing functional
impairment and decreasing mobility, autonomy and quality of life. Patients are then often …

Humans walk, run, and change their speed in accordance with circumstances. These gaits
are rhythmic motions generated by multi-articulated movements, which have specific …
