How age and surface inclination affect joint moment strategies to accelerate and decelerate individual leg joints during walking
JOURNAL OF BIOMECHANICS, 98.

MeSH headings : Acceleration; Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Aging / physiology; Biomechanical Phenomena; Exercise Test; Female; Gait; Humans; Joints / physiology; Kinetics; Leg / physiology; Male; Surface Properties; Walking / physiology; Young Adult
TL;DR:
Results suggest that during level and uphill walking increased hip flexor mechanical output in older adults does not arise from reduced ankle moments, contrary to increased hip extensor mechanical output, and implies that preserved eccentric knee extensor function is important in maintaining knee stabilization in older age.

Time-dependent tuning of balance control and aftereffects following optical flow perturbation training in older adults
JOURNAL OF NEUROENGINEERING AND REHABILITATION, 16.
MeSH headings : Aged; Biomechanical Phenomena; Female; Humans; Male; Muscle, Skeletal / physiology; Physical Therapy Modalities; Postural Balance / physiology; Sensation Disorders / rehabilitation; Walking / physiology
TL;DR:
Investigation of the propensity for time-dependent tuning of walking balance control and the presence of aftereffects following a single session of optical flow perturbation training suggests that older adults respond to the onset of perturbations using generalized anticipatory balance control, deprioritize that strategy following prolonged exposure to perturbATIONS, and exhibit short-term aftereeffects that indicate a lessening of anticipatory control, an increase in reactive control, and/or increased balance confidence.

TL;DR:
It is found that subjects did not minimize errors between the visual perception of movement and actual movement of the head and trunk, and lasting reductions in mediolateral postural sway may have implications for using error-augmented optical flow to enhance the integrity of walking balance control through training, for example in older adults.

Does local dynamic stability during unperturbed walking predict the response to balance perturbations? An examination across age and falls history

author keywords: Balance; Elderly; Lyapunov; Stability
MeSH headings : Accidental Falls / statistics & numerical data; Adult; Aged; Female; Humans; Locomotion / physiology; Male; Middle Aged; Postural Balance / physiology; Walking / physiology; Young Adult
TL;DR:
Predicting the response to balance perturbations in older fallers, at least that measured using local dynamic stability, likely requires measuring that response directly, and evidence is found that optical flow perturbation of sufficient amplitude appear capable of revealing independent effects of aging and falls history that are not otherwise apparent during normal, unperturbed walking.

TL;DR:
The objective was to compute tendon work loops and hysteresis losses using these two Direct tendon kinematics estimates during human walking and found that Direct estimates generally resulted in negative work loops, suggesting that Direct approaches provide more plausible estimates than the Indirect approach, and may be preferable for understanding tendon energy storage and return.
