Transitions between symmetrical and asymmetrical bipedal gaits: neuromechanical and evolutionary context. University of Antwerp
This projects investigates the transitions between different gait types (walk-run/trot; trot-gallop; walk-gallop and vice versa) during actual overground accelerations/decelerations. Kinematics, ground reaction forces, and EMG patterns are collected and data are used for further calculations (mechanical energy, inverse dynamic modeling¿). Ultimately, the project aims at gaining insights in the interaction between mechanical and neural control ...
