Effect of Discrepant Gait Assistance on the Motion and Stability of Unplanned Gait Termination

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
For the development and widespread adoption of wearable robots, ensuring the safety of the wearers is critical. The gait instability risks specific to wearable gait-assist robots arise from the motion interference of the robot. Such motion interference occurs due to sudden changes in the wearer's gait.

Does Speed-Normalized Double-Support Reflect Gait Stability in Parkinson’s Disease? A Model-Based Analysis

open access: yesBiomechanics
Background: Double-support percentage (DS%) is often interpreted as a proxy for dynamic gait stability, yet its biomechanical meaning is confounded by its strong inverse coupling with walking speed. This distinction is critical in Parkinson’s disease (PD)

Non‐Additive Criteria Assessment in Sustainability Evaluation of High Entropy Alloys: A Toxicity‐Weighted Framework

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Sustainability assessment requires methodologies that appropriately distinguish between additive and non‐additive material properties. A toxicity‐weighted scoring system is developed and applied that accounts for the disproportionate influence of highly toxic constituents through nonlinear weighting functions, providing more realistic estimates than ...

Gait Stability and Structure During a 30 Minute Treadmill Run: Implications for Protocol Duration and Shoe Familiarity

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Gait parameters are commonly reported, but their stability over durations representative of a typical continuous run remains poorly understood. This study investigated the stability and temporal structure of key spatiotemporal and kinetic parameters ...

Automatic gait recognition by symmetry analysis

open access: yes, 2003
We describe a new method for automatic gait recognition based on analysing the symmetry of human motion using the Generalised Symmetry Operator. This approach is reinforced by the psychologists' view that gait is a symmetrical pattern of motion and ...

Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

The ground reaction force pattern during walking under vestibular-demanding task with/without mastoid vibration: implication for future sensorimotor training in astronauts

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology
BackgroundThe Sensory Organization Test condition 5 (SOT5) assesses an astronaut’s vestibular function pre-/post-spaceflight but has a ceiling effect and mainly evaluates standing balance, neglecting the challenges of walking during space missions.

The adaptive role of the knee joint in maintaining the orbital stability during slope walkingThe adaptive role of the knee joint in maintaining the orbital stability during slope walking [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
Maintaining gait stability on sloped surfaces is a biomechanically demanding task. Previous studies revealed the effect of slopes on overall gait stability, but the joint-level mechanisms underlying the stability still remain unclear.
