During human walking, the centre of mass (CoM) is outside the base of support for most of
the time, which poses a challenge to stabilizing the gait pattern. Nevertheless, most of us are …

Human body enhancement is an interesting branch of robotics. It focuses on wearable
robots in order to improve the performance of human body, reduce energy consumption and …

Step-by-step foot placement control, relative to the center of mass (CoM) kinematic state, is
generally considered a dominant mechanism for maintenance of gait stability. By adequate …

Older adults, as well as those with certain neurological disorders, may compensate for poor
neural control of postural stability by widening their base of foot support while walking …

Stable gait requires active control of the mediolateral (ML) kinematics of the body center of
mass (CoM) and the base of support (BoS) in relation to each other. Stance leg hip abductor …

People prefer to move in energetically optimal ways during walking. We recently found that
this preference arises not just through evolution and development, but that the nervous …

During steady-state walking, mediolateral gait stability can be maintained by controlling the
center of pressure (CoP). The CoP modulates the moment of the ground reaction force …

The active control of the trunk plays an important role in frontal plane gait stability. We
characterized trunk control in response to different step widths using a novel feedback …

A fundamental question in human motor neuroscience is to determine how the nervous
system generates goal-directed movements despite inherent physiological noise and …

The walking human body is mechanically unstable. Loss of stability and falling is more likely
in certain groups of people, such as older adults or people with neuromotor impairments, as …
