Does whole-body vibration training have a positive effect on balance and walking function in patients with stroke? A meta-analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023 ObjectiveAfter a stroke, patients usually suffer from dysfunction, such as decreased balance ability, and abnormal walking function. Whole-body vibration training can promote muscle contraction, stimulate the proprioceptive system, enhance the muscle ...

The Effect of Functional Biomechanics Garment for Walking [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a functional biomechanics garment (FBG) with a lower extremity assist function. 32 healthy male participants were included in this study. Participants were divided into an FBG with taping function group (FBG group) and a compression garment group (CG group). Cadence (steps/min), step length (m)

Walking Metals for Remote Functionalization [PDF]
ACS Central Science, 2018 The distant and selective activation of unreactive C-H and C-C bonds remains one of the biggest challenges in organic chemistry. In recent years, the development of remote functionalization has received growing interest as it allows for the activation of rather challenging C-H and C-C bonds distant from the initiation point by means of a "metal-walk ...

On the Mechanics of Functional Asymmetry in Bipedal Walking [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2012 This paper uses two symmetrical models, the passive compass-gait biped and a five-link 3-D biped, to computationally investigate the cause and function of gait asymmetry. We show that for a range of slope angles during passive 2-D walking and mass distributions during controlled 3-D walking, these models have asymmetric walking patterns between the ...
