Abstract: Heavy load carriage is associated with musculoskeletal overuse injury, particularly in the lumbar spine. Steep walking slopes and heavy backpacks separately require adaptation of torso kinematics, but the combined effect of sloped walking and heavy… read more here.

Abstract: During walking, the elevation angles of the thigh, shank, and foot (i.e., the angle between the segment and the vertical) covary along a characteristic loop constrained on a plane. Here, we investigate how the shape… read more here.
