Relation between Step-To-Step Transition Strategies and Walking Pattern in Older Adults
Applied Sciences, 2022 In older adults, two different modes of step-to-step transition have been observed: an anticipated mode when the redirection of the centre of mass of the body (COM) begins before double stance and another when the transition begins during double stance ...

Applied Sciences, 2017 Accelerometers and gyroscopes are used to detect foot strike (FS), i.e., the moment when the foot first touches the ground. However, it is unclear whether different conditions (footwear hardness or foot strike pattern) influence the accuracy and ...

Sensors, 2018 Previous studies have used accelerometers with various operating ranges (ORs) when measuring biomechanical parameters. However, it is still unclear whether ORs influence the accuracy of running parameters, and whether the different stiffnesses of ...

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023 Background This exploratory study aimed to investigate the extent to which mechanical properties of the plantar skin and superficial soft tissue (hardness, stiffness, and thickness) and vibration perception thresholds (VPTs) predict plantar pressure ...

Effects of active and passive warming of the foot sole on vibration perception thresholds
Clinical Neurophysiology Practice, 2017 Objective: Skin temperatures are known to increase cutaneous sensitivity. However, it is unclear whether the amount of improved sensitivity differs depending on the protocol of heat application.
