Walking Speed, Gait Asymmetry, and Motor Variability
… the effect of design choices by evaluating gait mechanics in healthy control participants using three primary objectives: 1) determine the repeatability of marker placement, 2) determine the effect of set versus self-selected walking speed, and 3) examine the correlation between gait …

Design and Evaluation of a Powered Series-Elastic Cycloidal Ankle (CyAn) Prosthesis
… its capability to replicate natural gait mechanics. The clinical validation study was conducted with 3 participants with unilateral transtibial amputation at 3 different walking conditions: level ground at 1.5 m/s, uphill (+10◦ slope) at 0.8 m/s, and downhill (-10◦ slope) at 1.2 m/s. …

The Effects of a Menthol-Based Topical Analgesic on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness-Induced Changes to Running Biomechanics and Pain Perception
… soreness (DOMS) induced changes to running biomechanics and pain perception in well-trained runners. A menthol-based topical analgesic (n=10) was compared against a placebo group (n=10) on measures of kinematics, spatio-temporal parameters, and the perception of pain. Three-Dimensional (3D) …

Gait analysis of the hind limb in Labrador Retrievers with and without cranial cruciate ligament disease
… instabilities diagnosed in dogs. Techniques of gait analysis have become the most productive tools to investigate normal and pathological gait in human and veterinary subjects. The inverse dynamics analysis approach models the limb as a series of connected linkages and integrates morphometric …

Assessing the Effects of Exoskeletons on Physical Demands, Trip and Slip Risks, and User Perceptions in Manual Mining Tasks
… whereas the soft BSE largely preserved baseline gait mechanics, with no significant effects on objective slip or trip risk metrics. Overall, we found that the efficacy of ASEs and BSEs are highly device- and task-dependent. These results provide critical insights to inform evidence-based …

Characterising individual running gait: A field based, scalable approach
… for running. Historically the study of human gait in running has been restricted to the laboratory. All advances in our understanding of this area have come by way of instrumented treadmills and force plates, with the advent of multiple sequenced force plates providing unique insights in …
