Speed-Related Energy Flow and Joint Function Change During Human Walking [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 During human walking, mechanical energy transfers between segments via joints. Joint mechanics of the human body are coordinated with each other to adapt to speed change. The aim of this study is to analyze the functional behaviors of major joints during

Vision-based speedometer regulates human walking [PDF]
iScience, 2021 Summary: Can we recover self-motion from vision? This basic issue remains unsolved since, while the human visual system is known to estimate the direction of self-motion from optic flow, it remains unclear whether it also estimates the speed. Importantly,
