Up to now, most gait analyses on low back pain concentrate on changes in trunk coordination
during walking on a treadmill. Locomotion on uneven ground as well as lower limb …

Background The aim of the current study was to examine multiple gait parameters obtained
by wearable inertial sensors and their sensitivity to clinical status in early multiple sclerosis (…

Birds and humans are successful bipedal runners, who have individually evolved bipedalism,
but the extent of the similarities and differences of their bipedal locomotion is unknown. In …

Previous simulation studies investigated the role of reflexes and central pattern generators
to explain the kinematic and dynamic adaptations in reaction to step-down perturbations. …

In locomotion, humans have to deal with irregularities of the ground, ie, pathways covered
with stones, grass, or roots. When they encounter ground with changes in terrain height they …

It is often assumed that the spinal control of human locomotion combines feed-forward
central pattern generation with sensory feedback via muscle reflexes. However, the actual …

… As the plantar flexion before touchdown occurs in running across visual and camouflaged
drops in ground level (Müller et al., 2012a), we hypothesize that a feed-forward strategy …

Objective Unilateral trans-tibial amputation signifies a challenge to locomotion. Prosthetic
ankle-foot units are developed to mimic the missing biological system which adapts push-off …

In locomotion, humans have to deal with changes in ground level like pavement or stairs.
When they encounter uneven ground with changes in terrain height, they reduce their angle of …

Walking in even the most familiar environment posesses a challenge to humans due to
continuously changing surface conditions such as compliance, slip, or level. These changes can …
