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.

Metabolic cost of level, uphill, and downhill running in highly cushioned shoes with carbon-fiber plates

Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2022
Background: Compared to conventional racing shoes, Nike Vaporfly 4% running shoes reduce the metabolic cost of level treadmill running by 4%. The reduction is attributed to their lightweight, highly compliant, and resilient midsole foam and a midsole ...

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:

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.

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/

Bridging Locomotion and Manipulation Using Reconfigurable Robotic Limbs via Reinforcement Learning [PDF]

, 2023
Locomotion and manipulation are two essential skills in robotics but are often divided or decoupled into two separate problems. It is widely accepted that the topological duality between multi-legged locomotion and multi-fingered manipulation shares an ...

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.

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 ...
