Proprioceptive deficits can lead to impaired motor performance. Therefore, accurately measuring proprioceptive function in order to identify deficits as soon as possible is important. Techniques based on deep learning to track body landmarks in simple video recordings are promising to assess proprioception (joint position sense) during joint positi...

The joint position reproduction (JPR) approach is commonly used to assess joint position sense (JPS), but its psychometric properties in children remain unexplored. This study aimed to assess the reliability and precision of a multi‐joint JPR protocol for assessing lower‐limb JPS in typically developing (TD) children. Ankle, knee, and hip JPS were...

Background: The Joint Position Reproduction (JPR) approach has been commonly used to assess joint position sense (JPS), however, no prior study investigated its psychometric properties in children. This study aimed to assess the reliability and precision of a newly developed multi–joint JPR protocol for assessing lower limb JPS in school-aged typic...

During standing the center of mass (CoM) can be controlled relative to the base of support by applying ankle moments to shift the center of pressure (CoP mechanism). An additional mechanism is the counter-rotation mechanism, i.e., changing the angular momentum of segments around the CoM to change the direction of the ground reaction force. In this...

During standing, posture can be controlled by accelerating the Center of Mass (CoM) through shifting the center of pressure (CoP) within the base of support by applying ankle moments (“CoP mechanism”), or through the “counter-rotation mechanism”, i.e., changing the angular momentum of segments around the CoM to change the direction of the ground re...

During walking, the center of mass (CoM) position can be controlled relative to the base of support by shifts of the center of pressure through modulation of foot placement and ankle moments (CoP-mechanism). An additional mechanism is the counter-rotation mechanism, i.e. changing the angular momentum of segments around the CoM to change the directi...

Two mechanisms can be used to accelerate the center of mass (CoM) to control the CoM in relation to the base of support during standing. The first is applying ankle moments to shift the center of pressure (CoP), which has been coined the 'CoP mechanism'. The second is changing the angular momentum around the CoM to change the direction of the groun...

Stability during walking can be maintained by shifts of the Center of Pressure through modulation of foot placement and ankle moments (CoP-mechanism). An additional mechanism to stabilize gait, is the counter-rotation mechanism i.e. changing the angular momentum of segments around the Center of Mass (CoM) to change the direction of the ground react...

Shifts of the center of pressure (CoP) through modulation of foot placement and ankle moments (CoP-mechanism) cause accelerations of the center of mass (CoM) that can be used to stabilize gait.
