Physical fatigue accounts for many injuries in the workplace, sports arena, or battlefield. The traditional approaches to monitor fatigue rely on detecting and measuring shifts in the person’s muscular surface electromyography (sEMG) signals. However, assessing neuromuscular fatigue based purely on sEMG signals fails to account for the changing mus...

Individuals with neuromuscular deficits often walk with wider step widths compared to healthy adults. Wider steps have been linked to a higher destabilizing frontal-plane external moment and greater range of frontal-plane whole-body angular momentum (HR), which is an indicator of decreased balance control. The purpose of this study was to experimen...

Background: Clinical populations often walk with altered foot placement, which can adversely affect balance control. However, it is unknown how balance control during walking is influenced when combining a cognitive load with altered foot placement. Research question: Is balance control during walking adversely affected by the combination of a m...

... Few studies have investigated perturbations during different gait cycle phases, such as Initial Contact (IC) [27,28], Mid Stance (MS) [29,30], or Pre-Swing (PS) [31]. However, Błażkiewicz and Hadamus [4] investigated how external perturbations induced by treadmill belt acceleration and deceleration during these phases affect gait regularity in young adults. ...
