This review describes how computational modeling can be combined with noninvasive gait
measurements to describe and explain muscle and joint function in human locomotion. Five …

Maintaining and increasing walking speed in old age is clinically important because this
activity of daily living predicts functional and clinical state. We reviewed evidence for the …

Humans run faster by increasing a combination of stride length and stride frequency. In slow
and medium-paced running, stride length is increased by exerting larger support forces …

The link between gait parameters and foot abnormalities in association with low back pain is
not well understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of excessive …

We sought to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how the individual leg
muscles act synergistically to generate a ground force impulse and maximize the change in …

Hill-type muscle models are commonly used in musculoskeletal models to estimate muscle
forces during human movement. However, the sensitivity of model predictions of muscle …

Muscles induce large forces in the tibiofemoral joint during walking and thereby influence
the health of tissues like articular cartilage and menisci. It is possible to walk with a wide …

Recent studies have suggested that complex muscle activity during walking may be
controlled using a reduced neural control strategy organized around the co-excitation of …

Impaired control of mediolateral body motion during walking is an important health concern.
Develo** treatments to improve mediolateral control is challenging, partly because the …
