Foot Motion Character During Forward and Backward Walking With Shoes and Barefoot

Comparison of ankle and subtalar joint complex range of motion during barefoot walking and walking in Masai Barefoot Technology sandals

BACKGROUND Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT, Switzerland) produce footwear which they claim simulate walking barefoot on soft undulating ground. This paper reports an investigation into the effect of MBT sandals on the motion of the ankle and subtalar joint complex during walking. METHODS Range of motion data was collected in the sagittal, frontal and transverse plane from the ankle and subtala...

The association between measures of static foot posture and foot mobility and foot kinematics during barefoot walking

Background Variations in foot posture are associated with common lower limb injuries. However, there is uncertainty as to which measure of foot posture is the most valid in terms of predicting 3-dimensional kinematics of the foot. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between measures of static foot posture or foot mobility and kinematic variables of the foot during barefoot ...

Influence of Motion Control Shoes on Normal and Overpronator Foot Motion during Running

Forward and Backward Uncertainty Quantification in Optimization

This contribution gathers some of the ingredients presented during the Iranian Operational Research community gathering in Babolsar in 2019.It is a collection of several previous publications on how to set up an uncertainty quantification (UQ) cascade with ingredients of growing computational complexity for both forward and reverse uncertainty propagation.

Backward-forward Motion Compensated Prediction

This paper presents new methods for use of dense motion fields for motion compensation of interlaced video. The motion is estimated using previously decoded field-images. An initial motion compensated prediction is produced using the assumption that the motion is predictable in time. The motion estimation algorithm is phase-based and uses two or three field-images to achieve motion estimates wi...
