The effect of including a mobile arch, toe joint, and joint coupling on predictive neuromuscular simulations of human walking

Scientific Reports
Predictive neuromuscular simulations are a powerful tool for studying the biomechanics of human walking, and deriving design criteria for technical devices like prostheses or biorobots.

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Acute effect of foot strike patterns on in vivo tibiotalar and subtalar joint kinematics during barefoot running

Journal of Sport and Health Science
Background: Foot kinematics, such as excessive eversion and malalignment of the hindfoot, are believed to be associated with running-related injuries. The majority of studies to date show that different foot strike patterns influence these specific foot ...

Effect of ankle-foot orthoses on trunk sway and lower limb intersegmental coordination in children with bilateral cerebral palsy

Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine, 2012
Introduction: Ankle-foot orthoses may significantly improve lower limb kinematics in the gait of children with cerebral palsy. Here we aimed to analyze the effect of ankle-foot orthoses on trunk postural control and lower limb intersegmental coordination

Foot and Ankle Kinematics in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Influence of Foot and Ankle Joint and Leg Tendon Pathologies [PDF]

Arthritis Care & Research, 2013
AbstractObjectiveFrom early onset of the disease, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experience walking impairments. Pathologic effects of RA on foot and ankle structures have been studied clinically, but little is known as to how they relate to kinematic changes during gait. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between clinically

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.

Finite element modelling of an energy–storing prosthetic foot during the stance phase of transtibial amputee gait [PDF]

, 2012
Energy-storing prosthetic feet are designed to store energy during mid-stance motion and to recover it during latestance motion. Gait analysis is the most commonly used method to characterize prosthetic foot behaviour during walking. In using this method,

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

Direct assessment of 3D foot bone kinematics using biplanar X‐ray fluoroscopy and an automatic model registration method

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2015
Background Quantifying detailed 3‐dimensional (3D) kinematics of the foot in contact with the ground during locomotion is crucial for understanding the biomechanical functions of the complex musculoskeletal structure of the foot.

Do different multi‐segment foot models detect the same changes in kinematics when wearing foot orthoses?

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2022
Background Different multi‐segment foot models have been used to explore the effect of foot orthoses. Previous studies have compared the kinematic output of different multi‐segment foot models, however, no study has explored if different multi‐segment ...
