The motion of body center of mass during walking: a review oriented to clinical applications

L Tesio, V Rota - Frontiers in neurology, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Human walking is usually conceived as the cyclic rotation of the limbs. The goal of lower-
limb movements, however, is the forward translation of the body system, which can be …

Influence of a locomotor training approach on walking speed and distance in people with chronic spinal cord injury: a randomized clinical trial

EC Field-Fote, KE Roach - Physical therapy, 2011 - academic.oup.com
