The paper investigates allometric scaling of human foot bones to determine how shape changes with size and its impact on joint contact stress.

This study examines shoulder torque and power trade-offs during isokinetic and multiplanar tasks, finding that torque decreases while power increases with angular velocity, independent of torso conditions.

This study examines how talus shape affects hopping kinematics in healthy individuals, finding that shape influences talar dome orientation and curvature beyond size.

This study examines sexual dimorphism in scapular shape and finds that sex-based differences persist even after accounting for allometric effects.

The paper analyzes midtarsal and subtalar joint kinematics during walking, running, and hopping, finding that their rotation axes align with the morphological subtalar axis.

This study reassesses the role of foot power in human gait, finding that positive foot power primarily posteriorly tilts the talus to support upright gait rather than directly propelling the center of mass forward.

This study shows co-contraction of agonist-antagonist muscles improves motor corrections by using a dual control strategy, not just increased muscle impedance.
