Summary: This study used Akaike's information criterion (AIC) to determine the optimal degrees of freedom (DOF) for the lower extremities during walking and running, balancing the goodness-of-fit and generalizability of the model. The findings suggest that the 18-DOF model is the best choice for representing the lower extremities in terms of both fit and generalizability.

Summary: The study found that toddlers and preschoolers learning to run tend to utilize a walk-run strategy, with an increase in the number of muscle synergies compared to school-age children and adults. Surprisingly, different age groups did not differ significantly in the timing or duration of synergies.

Summary: This study used simulations to examine the effectiveness of walking and running in persistence hunting. The results showed that while walking could successfully capture prey under certain conditions, it had a lower success rate and took longer, resulting in greater exhaustion for the hunter compared to running. These simulation results can explain the limited descriptions of persistence hunting by walking among modern hunter-gatherers.

Summary: The study aimed to determine and compare the accuracy of different activity monitors in assessing intermittent outdoor walking in both healthy and clinical populations. Results showed that GPS receivers and ActiGraph demonstrated high performance in assessing intermittent outdoor walking in both healthy and clinical populations, with StepWatch3 showing significant differences in estimating walking/stopping duration. The performance of the activity monitors and processing methodologies were validated in a clinical population with functional limitations during outdoor walking sessions.

Summary: Locomotion affects the perception and neural encoding of optic flow during self-motion, influencing animals' ability to navigate and interact with their environment. Visual and nonvisual self-motion signals are integrated following principles of Bayesian inference, improving the precision and accuracy of self-motion perception. This review examines studies using humans, non-human primates, and mice, highlighting the profound influence of locomotion on optic flow processing and perception across species.

Summary: Research suggests that the normalization of pitch moment of inertia (MOI) has opposite effects on walking and running energetics in quadrupedal mammals. While simultaneous forelimb and hindlimb contacts during walking can dampen pitching energy, the pitching required for a four-beat walk becomes more expensive as the Murphy number increases. Rotation dynamics play a central role in gait selection for animals like dogs, horses, giraffes, and elephants.

Summary: The study aimed to identify the developing maturity of walking and running in young children by assessing gait patterns and mechanical energetics. It was found that the degree of gait maturity does not always relate directly to the chronological age of the child, with the ability to run increasing with age but without the flight phase reaching 20% of the gait cycle.

Summary: In this article, the authors demonstrate the applicability of the 3-D divergent component of motion (3D-DCM) framework to running and jumping, proposing an efficient motion planner that generates stable center-of-mass (CoM) trajectories. Extensive simulations with the humanoid robot TORO validate the feasibility of the generated reference trajectories.

Summary: The long, distal tendons, such as the Achilles, allow for muscle power amplification and reduction of locomotor energy cost. These tendons evolved to reduce energy cost and have additional advantages such as reducing muscle force requirement, attenuating vibrations, reducing muscle heat production, and preventing muscle damage. Overall, these benefits reduce fatigue and sense of effort, allowing humans to move at faster speeds for longer.

Summary: Past research has focused on the energy difference between different locomotion methods in reduced gravity at different speeds. However, the full range of reasons behind locomotion selection has not been researched. This study found fundamental changes in the way humans move in simulated Martian and Lunar gravity conditions, which should be considered in astronaut training and equipment development.

Summary: This paper proposes a multi-node inertial pedestrian navigation system based on lower limb model constraint, which utilizes a simplified adaptive zero-bias estimation algorithm and statistical feature gait segmentation method to solve gait detection issues, improves system stability using chi-square fault detection method. The experimental results demonstrate the system's effectiveness in overcoming various challenges.
