Differences in muscle synergies among recovery responses limit inter-task generalisation of stability performance.
Matthias König,Alessandro Santuz,Gaspar Epro,J. Werth,Adamantios Arampatzis,Kiros Karamanidis +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the dynamic stability and modular organization of motor responses to different perturbations (i.e., unpredictable gait-trip perturbation and subsequent loss of anterior stability in a lean-and-release protocol) in a group of young and middle-aged adults (n = 57; age range 19-53 years) to detect potential neuromotor factors limiting transfer of adaptations within the stability control system.

Head-Mounted and Hand-Held Displays Diminish the Effectiveness of Fall-Resisting Skills
Anika Weber,J. Werth,Gaspar Epro,Daniel Friemert,Ulrich Hartmann,Yiannis Lambrianides,John Seeley,Peter Nickel,Kiros Karamanidis +8 more
TL;DR: Additional cognitive resources required for dual-tasking, using either display, are suggested to result in delayed response execution for perturbed standing and walking, consequently diminishing participants’ ability to use stability control mechanisms effectively and increasing the risk of falls.

A wearable sensor and framework for accurate remote monitoring of human motion
TL;DR: A wearable sensor is introduced that utilises a spatially defined cluster of inertial measurement units on a rigid base for directly measuring the angular acceleration vector and confirms the feasibility of tracking human movement by automatic assessment of experimental fall initiation and balance recovery responses.

Differences in motor response to stability perturbations limit fall-resisting skill transfer
J. Werth,Gaspar Epro,Matthias König,Alessandro Santuz,John Seeley,Adamantios Arampatzis,Kiros Karamanidis +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated transfer of improvements in stability recovery performance to novel perturbations and found that practice of stability control enhances human resilience to novel gait perturbation.
Reliability and Accuracy of a Time-Efficient Method for the Assessment of Achilles Tendon Mechanical Properties by Ultrasonography
Steve Hunter,J. Werth,Darren C. James,Yiannis Lambrianides,Kenton Smith,Kiros Karamanidis,Gaspar Epro +6 more
TL;DR: No within- and between-day differences were detected between the proposed method and manual frame by frame tracking in Achilles tendon maximal force, maximal elongation, maximal strain, and stiffness index.
