Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

Synchronization between a wearer and a lower limb powered prosthesis is important for effective control. Typically, phase variable-based phase estimation methods are employed. However, there is a ...

Put a few miles between yourself and a bad mood, low energy, or an annoying work issue, and you’re bound to finish feeling better than you started. But if you’re looking to improve your “computer ...

This paper presents a new highly accurate gait phase detection system using wearable wireless ultrasonic sensors, which can be used in gait analysis or rehabilitation applications. The gait phase ...

Top-of-the line racers are all about running economy. Here's what that means—and how high-tech sports labs measure it.

The stance phase typically comprises about 60% of the gait cycle and includes initial contact (heel strike), loading response, midstance, terminal stance, and pre-swing.

Every gait cycle is made up of two mini-cycles: the “stance” and the “swing,” according to American Bone Health, an organization for Osteoporosis Education and Awareness.

Gait markers included two macro markers (average velocity and cadence), 24 micro temporal markers (duration of feet for various subphases of the gait cycle, such as stance, swing, step and stride ...

A person's gait consists of two phases. When your leg moves forward in the swing phase (off the ground), your other leg balances you in the stance phase (on the ground).
