Background: While cross-legged-sitting (CLS) posture is widely practised in some communities, its biomechanical effect on the lower limbs is not clear. This study aimed to investigate whether CLS would affect biomechanical parameters in lower limbs durin...

Background: Isolated gastrocnemius tightness (IGT) is a prevalent condition linked to various foot pathologies. In a previous quantitative gait analysis study, we identified an increase in knee flexion during the midstance phase in IGT patients compared ...

Fragility fractures, caused by low-energy trauma, are a significant global health concern, with 158 million people aged 50 and over at risk. Hip fractures, a common issue in elderly patients, are often linked to underlying conditions such as osteoporosis...

Purpose: Gait termination (GT) is the transition from steady-state walking to a complete stop, occurring under planned gait termination (PGT) or unplanned gait termination (UGT) conditions. This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical differences be...

Intelligent lower-limb prostheses aims to make amputees walk more comfortably and symmetrically which requires the dynamic altering of gait parameters such as walking speed. Some solutions have been proposed such as direct integration and machine learnin...

Walking patterns can be used as a key parameter in identifying individuals, as it varies visually depending on one?s body size as well as their habits, gender, and age group. In this study, we measure the gait characteristics of a large number of subject...
