TL;DR: Results show that HA spindle afference in the stance phase of gait contributes to the control of subsequent ML foot placement in relation to the kinematics of the CoM, to stabilize gait in the ML direction and that this pocess is impaired in older adults.

TL;DR: The data show the limitations of an in vitro model for studying fluid flow-related intervertebral disc mechanics, as outflow of fluid occurred, but inflow appears to be virtually absent during unloading.

TL;DR: It was found that the co-activation of the knee flexors increased with the extension moment, but this increase was less than proportional, and it is argued that these results do not suggest a recruitment pattern that is directed at reduction of anterior shear forces in the knee joint during sub-maximal isometric knee extension efforts in healthy subjects.

TL;DR: It is concluded that muscle activity is needed to increase arm swing amplitude and modify relative phase during human walking to obtain an out-phase movement relative to the legs.

TL;DR: The FS system was tested in one normal weight subject performing 19 different lifting, pushing and pulling and walking tasks and peak vertical GRFs were somewhat underestimated.
