In the field of quadruped locomotion, dynamic locomotion behavior, and rich integration with sensory feedback represents a significant development. In this paper, we present an efficient neural model, which includes CPG and its sensorimotor coordination, a ...
Quadrupeds achieve rapid and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts such as their trunk, head, and tail, i.e. body-limb coordination. Therefore, a better understanding of the mechanism underlying body-l ...
Amphibious animals adapt their body coordination to compensate for changing substrate properties as they transition between terrestrial and aquatic environments. Using behavioural experiments and mathematical modelling of the amphibious centipede Scolopend ...
Accurate assessment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) ON and OFF states in the usual environment is essential for tailoring optimal treatments. Wearables facilitate measurements of gait in novel and unsupervised environments; however, differences between unsupe ...
There is a growing interest for turning biomechanics notably because it is a more challenging task than straight-line walking during which some gait impairments are increased. Detecting heel-strike (HS) and toe-off (TO) events using the trajectory of marke ...
Background Gait training with partial body weight support (BWS) has become an established rehabilitation technique. Besides passive unloading mechanisms such as springs or counterweights, also active systems that allow rendering constant or modulated verti ...
Background: Damage to the cerebellum can affect neural structures involved in locomotion, causing gait and balance disorders. However, the integrity of cerebellum does not seem to be critical in managing sudden and unexpected environmental changes such as ...
We present a new framework to generate human-like lower-limb trajectories in periodic and non-periodic walking. In our method, walking dynamics is encoded in 3LP, a linear simplified model composed of three pendulums to simulate falling, swing, and torso b ...
Providing a naturalistic tactile sensory feedback is currently one of the key challenges in neuroprosthetics. Modeling has played a fundamental role in the development of "biomimetic" stimulation protocols, determining optimal activation patterns to be eli ...
Biological motor control is versatile and efficient. Muscles are flexible and undergo continuous changes requiring distributed adaptive control mechanisms. How proprioception solves this problem in the brain is unknown. Here we pursue a task-driven modelin ...
