TLDR
It was concluded that walking on sand substantially changes walking kinematics, and may cause greater postural instability than unstable shoes, which can be an alternative to improve postural control in patients undergoing walking rehabilitation.About:

Pattern control of human locomotion
TL;DR: A review of recent studies on human locomotion shows that muscle activity is accounted for by a combination of few basic patterns, each one timed at a different phase of the gait cycle.

Influences of Smartphone Operation on Gait and Posture During Outdoor Walking Task
TL;DR: In this paper, the ubiquity of smartphones has increased the engagement of phone use during street walking, and the risks of accidents and injuries caused by phone distracted walking are often overlooked.

Kinematic Profile of Visually Impaired Football Players During Specific Sports Actions.
TL;DR: It is concluded that VI players present slower speed while running and turning, and they adopt specific adaptations from arm movements and trunk flexion to perform passes.

A kinematic comparison of on-ergometer and on-water kayaking.
TL;DR: The results demonstrated a higher stroke rate during on-ergometer kayaking when compared to on-water (p < 0.05) and an increased range of motion in lateral bending in the thoracolumbar joint (p = 0.001).

Human balance and posture control during standing and walking
TL;DR: The inverted pendulum model permitted us to understand the separate roles of the two mechanisms during these critical unbalancing and rebalancing periods and confirmed the critical importance of the hip abductors/adductors in balance during all phases of standing and walking.

Statistical Parametric Mapping: The Analysis of Functional Brain Images
TL;DR: In an age where the amount of data collected from brain imaging is increasing constantly, it is of critical importance to analyse those data within an accepted framework to ensure proper integration and comparison of the information collected as discussed by the authors.

Assessment of balance control in humans
TL;DR: The balance control task as it relates to standing and walking is summarized and current assessment techniques and equipment are details to demonstrate from an electromyographical and biomechanical perspective the mechanisms and characteristics of the postural control system in bothStanding and walking.

Compensation of magnetic disturbances improves inertial and magnetic sensing of human body segment orientation
TL;DR: A complementary Kalman filter design to estimate orientation of human body segments by fusing gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer signals from miniature sensors shows accurate and drift-free orientation estimates.
