New insight obtained by studying the gait of cockroaches could provide valuable information on how biological systems stabilize. The research could help to develop more stable robots and provide doctors with better understanding on human gait abnormalities.
Researchers identify neuronal circuits in the spinal cord of mice which control the ability to produce alternating movements of the legs during walking.
Researchers are exploring the possible clinical potential of using smart glasses, such as Google Glass, to help improve the gait of patients with Parkinson's disease.
Researchers are attempting to teach two-legged robots a stable, and robust human way of walking.
Researchers uncover a vital mechanism which underlies the sensory feedback which helps guide balance and limb movement.
A new study reports on a definitive link between gait and early changes in cognitive function in Parkinson's patients.
New research allows those with robotic controlled prosthetic legs to walk almost as fast as an able bodied person.
Researchers investigate what factors come together to make a person attractive to others.
A new study reports our nervous systems are adept at altering the way we move so we expend the least amount of energy possible.
A new study reports that embarking on everyday activities, such as doing the laundry or washing dishes, provides more benefit to people with Parkinson's disease than occasional strenuous activity in helping to control their symptoms.
A researcher has developed a computational model that maps human locomotion to help improve assistive and rehabilitative robotics.
Researchers report the angiogenesis in the brain could be a cause of some of the intractable walking and balance difficulties associated with Parkinson's disease.
