.... The hypothesis of this study was that this weight shift could be achieved via either verbal instruction or an active feedback system, and that the weight shift would result in a reduction in the first peak knee adduction moment compared with the control tests. Nine individuals were tested during walking using...

... at initial contact has been suggested to give rise to the ROL, and a repetitive, high ROL may lead to several disorders, including osteoarthritis. We present the design, development, and validation of a knee brace that provides feedback to the user during gait. The feedback consists of an auditory signal...

... generator, the posture controller and the sensory system, the environment feedback controller and the stability controller were taken into account in the model. The environment feedback controller was proposed for two purposes, obstacle avoidance and target position control of the swing foot. The stability...

... arbitrary and controlled via closed-loop feedback. Intracellular calcium [ Ca 2 + ] i alterations were recorded in real time throughout the imposed strain with an epifluorescent microscopy system. Peak change in [ Ca 2 + ] i , recovery of [ Ca 2 + ] i , and percent responding NG108-15 cells were shown...
