The ‘Ride’ Feeling during Running under Field Conditions—Objectified with a Single Inertial Measurement Unit

Sensors, 2021
Foot rollover and the ‘ride’ feeling that occurs during heel–toe transition during running have been investigated mostly in laboratory settings due to the technical requirements of ‘golden standard’ measurement devices.

Failure analysis of articulating polymethyl methacrylate spacers in two-stage revision total hip arthroplasty

Bone & Joint Open, 2022
Aims: Two-stage exchange revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed in case of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has been considered for many years as being the gold standard for the treatment of chronic infection.

The mechanisms and mechanical energy of human gait initiation from the lower-limb joint level perspective

Scientific Reports, 2021
This study aims to improve our understanding of gait initiation mechanisms and the lower-limb joint mechanical energy contributions. Healthy subjects were instructed to initiate gait on an instrumented track to reach three self-selected target velocities:

Comparison of three-dimensional body centre of mass trajectories during locomotion through zero- and one-dimensional statistics

Scientific Reports, 2022
The trajectory of the body centre of mass (BCoM) during locomotion differs through speeds, gaits and pathological states; statistical methods are needed to compare it among different conditions. Here, ten participants walked on treadmill at 1.1 and 1.4 m/

Slack-based tunable damping leads to a trade-off between robustness and efficiency in legged locomotion

Scientific Reports, 2023
Animals run robustly in diverse terrain. This locomotion robustness is puzzling because axon conduction velocity is limited to a few tens of meters per second.

Do Carbon-Plated Running Shoes with Different Characteristics Influence Physiological and Biomechanical Variables during a 10 km Treadmill Run?

Applied Sciences, 2022
Footwear properties can influence physiological and biomechanical variables, which may lead to positive changes in distance running performance. One innovative development in running shoe technology is adding carbon fiber plates to increase midsole ...

Morphologically Adaptive Crash Landing on a Wall: Soft‐Bodied Models of Gliding Geckos with Varying Material Stiffnesses

Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2022
Landing on vertical surfaces in challenging environments is a critical ability for multimodal robots—it allows the robot to hold position above the ground without expending energy to hover.

An integrated neuro-mechanical model of C. elegans forward locomotion [PDF]

, 2007
One of the most tractable organisms for the study of nervous systems is the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, whose locomotion in particular has been the subject of a number of models.

Associations between hoof lesions and locomotion score in 1098 unsound dairy cows [PDF]

, 2010
To investigate the association between locomotion score and types of hoof lesion, cows from 91 selected dairy herds in southern Chile were studied. The locomotion score was recorded for all of the lactating cows (n = 10,699).
