The study of load carriage physiology and biomechanics encompasses an integrated examination of how added external weight affects human movement, energy expenditure, and overall performance. Research ...

Scientists affiliated with the Department of Physical Education’s Human Movement Laboratory (Movi-Lab) at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Bauru, Brazil, are using artificial intelligence to help ...

Canadian researchers are the first to study how different patterns in the way older adults walk could more accurately diagnose different types of dementia and identify Alzheimer's disease. A new study ...

A recent study investigated whether gait parameters were implicated in motor symptoms or the risk of falling, fining that backward gait (BG) dynamics were more impaired in patients with Parkinson's ...

The progression of a range cognitive conditions is often associated with a deterioration in motor control, and recently we’re seeing how the finer details of this physical decline can help us tell one ...

"Gait variability" is a term used to describe stride-to-stride fluctuations in timing and distance traversed as someone walks. Source: Hamsterfreund/Pixabay Key points: New research into the ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco has developed a data-driven method for optimizing deep brain stimulation (DBS) settings that significantly improved walking ...
