A computational and experimental study of the Drosophila larval locomotor system and its developmental critical period
Critical periods of nervous system development are phases of heightened plasticity during which neuronal network dynamics is adjusted through activity-regulated plasticity mechanisms. Because plasticity is elevated, these phases are also vulnerable, such that disturbances during this highly plastic …

Characterising intra- and inter-limb gait stability using minimum foot clearance
… event that reveals two things: 1) how the locomotor system achieves control over many degrees of freedom when performing this spatial end point trajectory task while at the same time being challenged by postural stability; 2) the risk associated with tripping over an unseen obstacle due to …

Novel design for foot pressure measurement using opto-electronics in rehabilitation
… The measurement approach used here is an optical system that could be incorporated between the foot and the shoe via an in sole. The information obtained can be used to assess the pressure and the kinetic variables that will help the physician to understand the patients' locomotor system better. …

Biomechanical modelling of human knee during living activities
The knee joint is a key structure of the human locomotor system. The knowledge of how each single anatomical structure of the knee contributes to determine the physiological function of the knee, is of fundamental importance for the development of new prostheses and novel clinical, surgical, and …

Validating a Proposed Data Mining Approach (SLDM) for Motion Wearable Sensors to Detect the Early Signs of Lameness in Sheep
… as painful erratic movements, which relate to a locomotor system and result in the animal deviating from its normal gait or posture. Lameness is considered one of the major health and welfare concerns for the sheep industry in the UK that leads to a substantial economic problem and causes a …
