Plasticity of muscle synergies through fractionation and merging during development and training of human runners

Nature Communications, 2020
Motor commands for human locomotion are generated by combination of muscle synergies. In humans, muscle synergies for running exhibit considerable plasticity during child-to-adult development and adult training to meet the constantly changing ...

Postural transitions detection and characterization in healthy and patient populations using a single waist sensor

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2020
Background Sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions are frequent daily functional tasks indicative of muscle power and balance performance. Monitoring these postural transitions with inertial sensors provides an objective tool to assess mobility in both

Gait speed in clinical and daily living assessments in Parkinson’s disease patients: performance versus capacity

npj Parkinson's Disease, 2021
Gait speed often referred as the sixth vital sign is the most powerful biomarker of mobility. While a clinical setting allows the estimation of gait speed under controlled conditions that present functional capacity, gait speed in real-life conditions ...

Feasibility of designing, manufacturing and delivering 3D printed ankle-foot orthoses: a systematic review

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2019
Background Ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) are prescribed to manage difficulty walking due to foot drop, bony foot deformities and poor balance. Traditional AFOs are handmade using thermoplastic vacuum forming which provides limited design options, is labour ...

Gait analysis as a clinical tool for dementia: current perspectives and future challenges

Advances in Clinical Neuroscience & Rehabilitation, 2021
Gait, the way that we walk, requires complex cognitive functions. Gait may be a useful early marker for dementia diagnosis, as gait impairments precede and reflect cognitive decline.
