The paper uses simulations to show that passive prostheses increase walking effort for both propulsion and stabilization, while active prostheses reduce effort but require full sensory feedback to fully restore metabolic cost.

This study investigates how walking speed affects the metabolic cost of balance control, finding that faster speeds reduce the energy needed to stabilize walking.

The paper evaluates accuracy-speed-stability trade-offs in stepping tasks between young and older adults, finding no age differences in trade-off magnitudes but linking lower stability to reduced accuracy in older adults.

This study examines how balance improves in older adults after one and ten balance training sessions, finding rapid gains in robustness but slower performance improvements and no significant changes in reflexes or co-contraction.

This study examines how older adults adjust gait stability to different walking conditions and whether balance training affects these adjustments, finding no training-induced improvements.
