Intelligent Control of Multilegged Robot Smooth Motion: A Review

IEEE Access, 2023
Motion control is crucial for multilegged robot locomotion and task completion. This study aims to address the fundamental challenges of inadequate foot tracking and weak leg compliance control in multilegged robot motions.

Development and Decline of Upright Gait Stability [PDF]

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014
Upright gait is a peculiar characteristic of humans that requires the ability to manage upper body dynamic balance while walking, despite the perturbations that are generated by movements of the lower limbs. Most of the studies on upright gait stability have compared young adults and the elderly to determine the effects of aging.

Proprioceptive perturbations of stability during gait [PDF]

Neurophysiologie Clinique/Clinical Neurophysiology, 2008
Through recent studies, the role of proprioceptors in reactions to perturbations during gait has been finally somewhat better understood. The input from spindle afferents has been investigated with tendon taps, vibration and other forms of muscle stretches, including some resembling natural perturbations (stumbling, slips, and ankle inversions). It was

Novel Approach to Analyze All-Round Kinematic Stability During Curving Steps

IEEE Access, 2023
From the viewpoint of the stability of biped walking, the stability for both anteroposterior, lateral, and diagonal directions should be considered owing to the frequent occurrence of turning and curving motions in the daily environment. In this study, a

Temporal Stability of Gait in Parkinson's Disease [PDF]

Physical Therapy, 1996
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE. Evaluation of physical therapy for gait disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) requires an under-standing of how the patients' medication cycle affects function. Four experiments were conducted to investigate stability of gait variables. METHODS AND RESULTS.

Prediction of Stability during Walking at Simulated Ship’s Rolling Motion Using Accelerometers

Sensors, 2022
Due to a ship’s extreme motion, there is a risk of injuries and accidents as people may become unbalanced and be injured or fall from the ship. Thus, individuals must adjust their movements when walking in an unstable environment to avoid falling or ...

Quantifying the Dynamic Stability of Gait Patterns in People with Hallux Valgus

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2021
Hallux valgus (HV), which is mainly caused by the wearing of narrow-width and high-heeled shoes, disrupts gait behavior because it deforms lower limb joints.

Gait variability and local dynamic stability are exacerbated by age and visual cues [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Gait variability increases and dynamic gait stability decreases with age, which may lead to an increased risk of falls. Additionally, the need to process visual cues can exacerbate changes in gait variability and dynamic gait stability in ...

Weaker Braking Force, A New Marker of Worse Gait Stability in Alzheimer Disease

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2020
Background: Braking force is a gait marker associated with gait stability. This study aimed to determine the alteration of braking force and its correlation with gait stability in Alzheimer disease (AD).Methods: A total of 32 AD patients and 32 healthy ...

Effects of Visual Deprivation on Gait Dynamic Stability [PDF]

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
Vision can improve bipedal upright stability during standing and affect spatiotemporal parameters during walking. However, little is known about the effects of visual deprivation on gait dynamic stability. We have tested 28 subjects during walking under two different visual conditions, full vision (FV) and no vision (NV), measuring
