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 …

Ankle and foot power in gait analysis: Implications for science, technology and clinical assessment
In human gait analysis studies, the entire foot is typically modeled as a single rigid-body
segment; however, this neglects power generated/absorbed within the foot. Here we show …

Mechanical and energetic consequences of reduced ankle plantar-flexion in human walking
The human ankle produces a large burst of 'push-off'mechanical power late in the stance
phase of walking, reduction of which leads to considerably poorer energy economy. It is …
