Concurrent Evolution of Biomechanical and Physiological Parameters With Running-Induced Acute Fatigue

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Salil Apte, Gaëlle Prigent, Vincent Gremeaux

Understanding the influence of running-induced acute fatigue on the homeostasis of the body is essential to mitigate the adverse effects and optimize positive adaptations to training. Fatigue is a multifactorial phenomenon, which influences biomechanical, ...

Knee adduction moment decomposition: Toward better clinical decision-making

Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Robin Martin

Knee adduction moment (KAM) is correlated with the progression of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Although a generic gait modification can reduce the KAM in some patients, it may have a reverse effect on other patients. We proposed the "decomposed ground ...

Sensory modulation of gait characteristics in human locomotion: A neuromusculoskeletal modeling study

Auke Ijspeert, Andrea Di Russo, Dimitar Yuriev Stanev, Stéphane Armand

The central nervous system of humans and other animals modulates spinal cord activity to achieve several locomotion behaviors. Previous neuromechanical models investigated the modulation of human gait changing selected parameters belonging to CPGs (Central ...

A solution method for predictive simulations in a stochastic environment

Anne Daniëlle Koelewijn

Predictive gait simulations currently do not account for environmental or internal noise. We describe a method to solve predictive simulations of human movements in a stochastic environment using a collocation method. The optimization is performed over mul ...

From bio-inspired locomotion models To controllers for lower-limb exoskeletons

Florin Dzeladini

Human locomotion shows fascinating abilities which are the results of the interplay between the environment, the biomechanics, the spinal cord, and modulation from higher control centers. How the different structures interact to generate meaningful behavio ...

Closed-Loop Functional Electrical Stimulation for Gait Training for Patients with Paraplegia

Mohamed Bouri, Solaiman Shokur

This paper presents a novel functional electrical stimulation paradigm to generate locomotion in paraplegic patients. We propose a closed-loop surface functional electrical stimulation (sFES) of 16 lower-limb muscles to produce all subphases of the gait. T ...

Effects of passive and active joint compliance in quadrupedal locomotion

Auke Ijspeert, Mehmet Hasan Mutlu, Alexandre Bernardino

Compliance of the body has a crucial role on locomotion performance. The levels and the distribution of compliance should be well tuned to obtain efficient gait. The leg stiffness changes significantly even during different phases of a single gait cycle. T ...

A simple model of mechanical effects to estimate metabolic cost of human walking

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji, Amy Roning Wu

Since the advent of energy measurement devices, gait experiments have shown that energetic economy has a large influence on human walking behavior. However, few cost models have attempted to capture the major energy components under comprehensive walking c ...

Control of Bio-Inspired Sprawling Posture Quadruped Robots with an Actuated Spine

Tomislav Horvat

Sprawling posture robots are characterized by upper limb segments protruding horizontally from the body, resulting in lower body height and wider support on the ground. Combined with an actuated segmented spine and tail, such morphology resembles that of s ...

Error performances of a model-based biplane fluoroscopic system for tracking knee prosthesis during treadmill gait task

Kamiar Aminian, Arnaud Barré

Roentgen stereophotogrammetry analysis technique allows an accurate measurement of knee joint prosthesis position and orientation using two X-ray images. Although this technique is used generally during static procedure, it is possible to use it with a bip ...
