The utilization of the limb support moment allows for a concise assessment of the support needed within the lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle) to avoid collapse during impact decelerations. Insufficient support contributions may be identified at a partic...

Landing on a single-leg without receiving direct visual information (e.g., not looking at the ground) may increase the risk of injury. We examined whether visual focus contributed to the changing lower-extremity dynamics and patellofemoral joint stress d...

Neuromodulators at the periphery, such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), have been developed as add-on tools to regain upper extremity (UE) paresis after stroke, but this recovery has often been limited. To overcome these limits, novel stra...
