Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of the individual ankle plantar flexors to support, forward progression and swing initiation during walking.
TL;DR: In this study, the individual contributions of the ankle plantar flexors to the body segment energetics are examined using a musculoskeletal model and optimization framework to generate a forward dynamics simulation of normal walking at 1.5 m/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Merging of Healthy Motor Modules Predicts Reduced Locomotor Performance and Muscle Coordination Complexity Post-Stroke
David J. Clark,Lena H. Ting,Felix E. Zajac,Richard R. Neptune,Steven A. Kautz,Steven A. Kautz +5 more
TL;DR: A common modular organization of muscle coordination underlying walking in both healthy and post-stroke subjects is suggested, which may lead to new insight into impaired locomotor coordination and the underlying neural systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanics and muscle coordination of human walking. Part I: introduction to concepts, power transfer, dynamics and simulations.
Felix E. Zajac,Felix E. Zajac,Richard R. Neptune,Richard R. Neptune,Steven A. Kautz,Steven A. Kautz +5 more
TL;DR: This work elucidate how energy produced by muscles is delivered to the crank through the synergistic action of other non-energy producing muscles; specifically, that a major function performed by a muscle arises from the instantaneous segmental accelerations and redistribution of segmental energy throughout the body caused by its force generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological and biomechanical factors associated with elite endurance cycling performance.
Edward F. Coyle,Michael E. Feltner,Steven A. Kautz,Marc T. Hamilton,S. J. Montain,Ann M. Baylor,L D Abraham,G. W. Petrek +7 more
TL;DR: It appears that "elite-national class" cyclists have the ability to generate higher "downstroke power", possibly as a result of muscular adaptations stimulated by more years of endurance training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanics and muscle coordination of human walking: part II: lessons from dynamical simulations and clinical implications.
TL;DR: The mechanical and coordination concepts arising from analyses of simulations of walking are reviewed and how biomechanical models and simulations may enhance the understanding of the mechanics and muscle function of walking in individuals with gait impairments is discussed.
