Locomotive syndrome (LS) refers to a condition where individuals face challenges in performing activities of daily living. Early detection of such deterioration is crucial to reduce the need for nursing care. The Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (...
Balance deficits are present in a variety of clinical populations and can negatively impact quality of life. The integration of wearable sensors and machine learning technology (ML) provides unique opportunities to quantify biomechanical characterist...
Lower-limb exoskeletons have the potential to transform the way we move, but current state-of-the-art controllers cannot accommodate the rich set of possible human behaviours that range from cyclic and predictable to transitory and unstructured. We i...
Correlations between morphology and lifestyle of extant taxa are useful for predicting lifestyles of extinct relatives. Here, we infer the locomotor behaviour of from the middle Oligocene and from the lower Miocene of France using their femoral mor...
A central pattern generator (CPG)-based controller enhances the adaptability of quadrupedal locomotion, for example, by controlling the trunk posture. The conventional CPG-based controllers with attitude control often utilized the posture angle as fe...

Walking-assistive devices require adaptive control methods to ensure smooth transitions between various modes of locomotion. For this purpose, detecting human locomotion modes (e.g., level walking or stair ascent) in advance is crucial for improving ...
Locomotion on soft yielding grounds is more complicated and energetically demanding than on hard ground. Wet soft ground (such as mud or snow) is a particularly difficult substance because it dissipates energy when stepping and resists extrusion of t...

Dung beetles impressively coordinate their 6 legs to effectively roll large dung balls. They can also roll dung balls varying in the weight on different terrains. The mechanisms underlying how their motor commands are adapted to walk and simultaneous...
Water pollution poses a significant risk to the environment and human health, necessitating the development of innovative detection methods. In this study, a series of representative psychoactive compounds were selected as model pollutants, and a new...
Biological motions of native muscle tissues rely on the nervous system to interface movement with the surrounding environment. The neural innervation of muscles, crucial for regulating movement, is the fundamental infrastructure for swiftly respondin...
