Abstract Purpose of Review Adults over age 65 experience the highest rates of bone
fracture, and 90% of fractures in older adults are caused by falls from standing height or …

In this paper, we studied both kinematic and dynamic models of a mammal-like octopod
robot. To control robot legs, we employed a simple gait generator based on a sine function …

The simulation of fall plays a critical role in estimating injuries caused by fall. However,
implementing human fall mitigation motions on a simulator proves challenging due to the …

The aim of the study was to propose a relatively simple central pattern generator (CPG)
model, which can be used to control a lower limb exoskeleton. The mentioned generator …

Mobility impairment is a serious medical and social problem with an increasing prevalence.
Therefore, it is important to develop devices that would help both the patients and the …

The aim of this paper is to present the results of an assessment of internal loads in the joints
of the lower limbs during the snatch performed by young weightlifters. A planar model of a …

In this paper we consider a 4-link model of a human for simulating a forward fall. The model
implemented in Mathematica is constructed based on a planar mechanical system with a …

In this paper, a design of lower limb exoskeleton driven by linear electric actuators was
proposed and investigated. A general, three-dimensional simulation model of a lower limb …

Understanding the mechanism of human balancing is a scientifically challenging task. In
order to describe the nature of the underlying control mechanism, the control force has to be …

In this study we consider a 3-link biomechanical model of a human for simulating a forward
fall. Individual segments of the human body are modelled as rigid bodies connected by the …
