Locomotion in extinct giant kangaroos: were sthenurines hop-less monsters? [PDF]
, 2014 The extinct \u27sthenurine\u27 family of giant Kangaroos, up to three times larger than living Kangaroos, were able to walk on two feet, according to new research. Abstract Sthenurine kangaroos (Marsupialia, Diprotodontia, Macropodoidea) were an extinct

Validation of Inertial Sensors to Evaluate Gait Stability
Sensors, 2023 The portability of wearable inertial sensors makes them particularly suitable for measuring gait in real-world walking situations. However, it is unclear how well inertial sensors can measure and evaluate gait stability compared to traditional laboratory-

Energy cost differences between marathon runners and soccer players: Constant versus shuttle running
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Purpose: In the last decades, the energy cost assessment provided new insight on shuttle or constant running as training modalities. No study, though, quantified the benefit of constant/shuttle running in soccer-players and runners. Therefore, the aim of

Gait Variability at Different Walking Speeds
Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2023 Gait variability (GV) is a crucial measure of inconsistency of muscular activities or body segmental movements during repeated tasks. Hence, GV might serve as a relevant and sensitive measure to quantify adjustments of walking control.

Coordination of Locomotion with Voluntary Movements in Humans [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2005 Muscle activity occurring during human locomotion can be accounted for by five basic temporal activation patterns in a variety of locomotion conditions. Here, we examined how these activation patterns interact with muscle activity required for a voluntary movement.

Locomotion and muscle mass measures in a murine model of collagen-induced arthritis [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by chronic poly-arthritis, synovial hyperplasia, erosive synovitis, progressive cartilage and bone destruction accompanied by a loss of body cell mass.
