The Fundamental Property of Human Leg During Walking: Linearity and Nonlinearity
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023 Leg properties have been involved in the broad study of human walking from mechanical energy to motion prediction of robotics. However, the variable leg elasticities and their functions during gait have not been fully explored.

Human locomotion-control brain networks detected with independent component analysis [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021 Walking is a fundamental movement skill in humans. However, how the brain controls walking is not fully understood. In this functional magnetic resonance imaging study, the rhythmic, bilaterally alternating ankle movements were used as paradigm to ...

Influences of dynamic load phase shifts on the energetics and biomechanics of humans
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Using load-suspended backpacks to reduce vertical peak dynamic load exerted on humans can reduce metabolic costs. However, is it possible to further reduce metabolic cost by modulating dynamic load phase shift? If so, is anti-phase better than the others?

The limits of agency in walking humans [PDF]
Neuropsychologia, 2010 An important principle of human ethics is that individuals are not responsible for actions performed when unconscious. Recent research found that the generation of an action and the building of a conscious experience of that action (agency) are distinct processes and crucial mechanisms for self-consciousness.

Generation of human walking paths
2013 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2013 This work investigates the way humans plan their paths in a goal-directed motion. The person can be viewed as an optimal controller that plans the path minimizing a certain (unknown) cost function. Taking this viewpoint, the problem can be formulated as an inverse optimal control one, i.e., starting from control and state trajectories we want to figure
