Caregivers often tailor their language to infants' ongoing actions (e.g., "are you stacking the blocks?"). When infants develop new motor skills, do caregivers show concomitant changes in their langua...
Minimizing metabolic energy expenditure (MEE) plays an important role in increasing mobility in people with locomotor disabilities, as movements that require high energy lead to less activity. Rehabil...
Dynamic locomotion is realized through a simultaneous integration of adaptability and optimality. This article proposes a neuro-cognitive model for a multi-legged locomotion robot that can seamlessly ...
Locomotive Syndrome (LS), a condition related to impaired mobility, is influenced by balance control, which comprises six components. Deficiencies in these components can lead to reduced mobility and ...
Recent strides in the development of untethered miniature robots have shown the advantages of diverse actuation methods, flexible maneuverability, and precise locomotion control, which has made miniat...
This research investigates how experiencing virtual embodiment in a wheelchair affects implicit bias towards people who use wheelchairs. We also investigate how receiving information from a virtual in...
This study describes foot bone anomalies and the degenerative changes associated with locomotion adaptations....
An adult male (approximately 29-46 years old) from Estremoz, Portugal (13th-15th century)....
The skeletal anomalies observed in this skeleton were described and measurements were compared between both sides of the individual and with the mean of the adult males from the same collection....
The most anomalous bones are the right medial cuneiform and metatarsals. Degenerative changes are more severe on the left lower limb and right upper limb....
This skeleton represents a unilateral case of talipes varus of the right foot, with the metatarsals being more affected while previously published cases show more severe anomalies of the hindfoot. The...
This case shows that club foot skeletal anomalies are variable and the pattern of bony changes throughout the body can reveal locomotion adaptations....
The possibility of a genetic cause cannot be assessed due to the absence of paleogenomic data....
Since the anomalies found in this case are different than those previously published, we recommend care when analysing foot bones....
Undulatory locomotion relies on the propagation of a wave of excitation in the spinal cord leading to consequential activation of segmental skeletal muscles along the body. Although this process relie...
Foot placement can be selected to anticipate upcoming perturbations, but it is unclear how this anticipatory strategy is influenced by available response time or precise knowledge of the perturbation'...
Spatial updating based on self-motion cues is important to navigation in the absence of familiar landmarks. Previous studies showed that spatial updating without vision was automatic. The goal of the ...
