We reviewed neural control and biomechanical description of gait in both non-disabled and
post-stroke subjects. In addition, we reviewed most of the gait rehabilitation strategies …

Estimation of individual muscle forces during human movement can provide insight into
neural control and tissue loading and can thus contribute to improved diagnosis and …

Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically slow and metabolically expensive.
Passive assistive devices such as ankle-foot orthoses are often prescribed to increase …

Objective: Musculoskeletal models provide a non-invasive means to study human
movement and predict the effects of interventions on gait. Our goal was to create an open …

Estimation of muscle forces during motion involves solving an indeterminate problem (more
unknown muscle forces than joint moment constraints), frequently via optimization methods …

Dynamic simulations of movement allow one to study neuromuscular coordination, analyze
athletic performance, and estimate internal loading of the musculoskeletal system …

Deficits in the ankle plantarflexor muscles, such as weakness and contracture, occur
commonly in conditions such as cerebral palsy, stroke, muscular dystrophy, Charcot-Marie …

Computer models that estimate the force generation capacity of lower limb muscles have
become widely used to simulate the effects of musculoskeletal surgeries and create dynamic …

Evidence suggests that the nervous system controls motor tasks using a low-dimensional
modular organization of muscle activation. However, it is not clear if such an organization …

Bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult challenges in control engineering. Most
books treat the subject from a quasi-static perspective, overlooking the hybrid nature of …
