For years, assistive mechanical devices, such as robotic arms, hands and legs, have helped patients improve function and gain mobility – and now a robotic tail is showing promise for balancing ...

To investigate how the body's ability to sense head movements can contribute to balance control and guidance control--two critical aspects of bipedal locomotion--the researchers stimulated nerves that ...

The primary goal of the CoBaL lab is to understand the neural and biomechanical basis of human upright balance. The bipedal human is inherently unstable and needs a sophisticated control system to ...
