Flexible mechanisms: the diverse roles of biological springs in vertebrate movement
The muscles that power vertebrate locomotion are associated with springy tissues, both
within muscle and in connective tissue elements such as tendons. These springs share in …

Individualization of exosuit assistance based on measured muscle dynamics during versatile walking
Variability in human walking depends on individual physiology, environment, and walking
task. Consequently, in the field of wearable robotics, there is a clear need for customizing …

Perturbing the muscle work loop paradigm to unravel the neuromechanics of unsteady locomotion
Muscle function during movement is more than a simple, linear transformation of neural
activity into force. The classic work loop technique has pioneered our understanding of …
