Locomotion is a very diverse phenomenon that results from the interactions of a body and its environment and enables a body to move from one position to another. Underlying control principles rely among others on the generation of intrinsic body movements, ...
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 ...
We present a template-based approach to detecting human silhouettes in a specific walking pose. Our templates consist of short sequences of 2D silhouettes obtained from motion capture data. This lets us incorporate motion information into them and helps di ...
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 ...
