This study examines age-related differences in balance control during walking under visual perturbations, finding older adults show reduced self-motion estimation accuracy but some adaptation capacity.

The paper compares stabilization mechanisms in standing and walking using a lumped model, finding task-level organization of stabilization with consistent position-velocity gain ratios.

This study examines how lumbar disc injury and muscle-derived nociception affect trunk motor control in rats during locomotion, finding localized neuromuscular adaptations without disrupting global movement patterns.

This study examines how balance training in older adults affects cortico-muscular functional connectivity during postural recovery, finding training-induced changes in beta-band coherence with muscle synergies.

This paper reviews in vivo animal studies on intervertebral disc injury, finding significant mechanical and morphological changes, with Youngs modulus as a sensitive marker of degeneration.

This study shows that linear and angular momentum are simultaneously controlled in human walking, explaining correlations between ground reaction forces and center of mass/pressure positions.

This study examines how different visual perturbations affect balance control during walking, finding that specific perturbations alter foot placement and center of mass trajectories in humans.

This study shows that people with Parkinson's Disease have greater foot placement errors during walking compared to healthy older adults, suggesting impaired coordination between center of mass and foot placement.

This study compares foot placement control during overground and treadmill walking, finding differences in stability mechanisms and precision.

This study establishes a rat model of lumbar spine instability through intervertebral disc injury and evaluates musculature adaptations.

This study examines how head orientation affects vestibular signal modulation of paraspinal muscle activity during walking, finding reduced coherence and gain in leftward head orientation.

This tutorial presents methods to assess stabilizing feedback control of human walking using gait analysis, ranging from simple kinematics to inverse dynamics, with open-source code provided.

This study examines how vestibular stimulation affects gait stability and foot placement precision across different step widths.

The paper examines how head rotation affects standing balance during visual tracking in young and older adults, finding greater postural sway in older adults during pursuit tasks.

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.

The paper identifies an ankle strategy during steady-state walking where ankle moments correct for foot placement errors and influence subsequent foot placement.

This study shows that vestibular contributions to gait vary with stabilization demands, not just gait stability, as evidenced by changes in coherence and local dynamic stability during different walking conditions.

This study shows that long-term balance training improves feedback control of perturbed balance in older adults by altering muscle activation patterns.

The paper investigates how foot placement and ankle moments contribute to gait stability during walking under different constraints.

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.
