This study assesses the performance of a portable force plate in measuring shear forces during quiet standing, finding it only marginally meets precision requirements for balance diagnostics.

This study uses computational modeling of foot-ground force data to identify distinct balance control strategies in post-stroke individuals compared to unimpaired adults.

This study investigates how muscle stiffness, not force, limits human force production by testing the effects of wrist stabilization and limb configuration on maximum pushing force.

This study shows humans predictively adjust arm stiffness before movement to optimize task success, even at the cost of energy efficiency.

This study compares balance control strategies between older and younger adults using foot force data and simulations, finding older adults rely more on neural feedback due to reduced muscle stiffness.

This study uses intersection point analysis of ground reaction forces to show that humans minimize joint effort by adjusting ankle and hip torques during balance on a narrow beam.

This paper proposes the expansion hypothesis to explain how humans develop, learn, and use motor synergies, addressing Bernstein's degrees of freedom problem through mechanical, developmental, and behavioral perspectives.

This study investigates the behavioral consequences of velocity commands in human motor tasks, finding that noise in velocity commands leads to Brownian motion patterns in position.
