Improving Interactions with Healthcare Robots
… of robot self-disclosure, voice pitch, and forward body lean, while study three examined the effects of robot humour. Study four investigated robot empathy statements and head nodding, using a between-subjects online video design. Results: The review found several key physician communication …

Maximum Absolute and Relative Joint Torques during Recovery from a Simulated Trip
… single-step balance recovery from an incipient forward fall. Eight obese (BMI = 33.2 ± 2.4) and eight non-obese (BMI = 24.8 ± 1.8) participants were released from a static forward lean and asked to recover their balance with a single step. Lean angle was progressively increased until they could …

Design of an endoskeleton ski boot
… A rotating front part would be used to set the forward lean. An enclosure around this entire structure would be held tight by straps and Boa laces. An analysis of this design showed that carbon fiber was a strong enough material to make the boot, and the model was adjusted to feature a ~4mm …

Strength And Power Training To Improve Performance On Recovery From A Simulated Trip
… to recover from a postural perturbation. A forward leaning task has been used to simulate the biomechanical requirements of a slip, trip or perturbation and quantify maximum recoverable forward lean angle (FLean<sub>max</sub>). We also used a lateral leaning task to determine maximum …

Transition between single and multiple stepping strategies in forward fall recovery
… responded to a sudden release from an initial forward lean. We limited available first step length with a visible boundary line to induce transitions between single and multiple stepping strategies. The available step length where the transition occurred (transition threshold) and the …

A Modeling Investigation of Obesity and Balance Recovery
… with BMI 30.1 to 36.9 kg/m² were released from a forward lean and attempted to recover balance using an ankle strategy. Lean angle was increased until subjects required a step or hip flexion to recover balance. The maximum lean angle, θ<sub>max</sub>, was used as the measure of balance recovery …

Association of Obesity and Lower Limb Muscle Strength and Power with Balance Recovery from a Forward Leaning Position
… adults to recover balance when released from a forward leaning position. This forward leaning assessment was used as a surrogate for a balance recovery from a fall. The maximal body lean angle from which the subject could recover their balance was referred to as LeanMax. The primary aim was to …

An experimental and simulation based approach toward understanding the effects of obesity on balance recovery from a postural perturbation
… stance (by releasing participants from a static forward lean), and an initial angular velocity while in an upright stance (using a translating platform). In contrast to the first study, the ability to recover balance with a single-step did not differ between young normal-weight and obese adults. …
