DOI: 10.1016/j.jinsphys.2018.11.004
Abstract: Feces provides information about the donor and potentially attracts both conspecifics and predators and also parasites. The excretory system must be coordinated with other behaviors in insects. We found that crickets started walking forward following… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2019.01.052
Abstract: Walking is a repeatable and cyclic locomotor act, presenting standardized biomechanical patterns within the gait cycle in healthy humans. Specifically, both stance and swing durations exhibit high reliability at comfortable speed, maintaining the same proportion… read more here.

DOI: 10.3349/ymj.2022.63.1.82
Abstract: Purpose Gait evaluation in patients with dizziness is essential during both initial evaluation and vestibular rehabilitation. Inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based gait analysis systems are clinically applicable in patients with dizziness. Since dizzy patients can utilize… read more here.
