Our new paper on the role of soft tissue deformations in human walking is out: journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22… ..suggesting that soft tissues dissipate substantial amounts of energy in a predictable manner The paper is also featured in the "Inside JEB section": journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

Published today in PLOS ONE: TimTrack, a new (MATLAB-based) algorithm that estimates muscle fascicle length, pennation angle, and other features from ultrasound images without drift-sensitivity journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… All code and example data are freely available on my GitHub

Tooting our own horn, T van der Zee from my lab showed model with Zahalak style cross bridges + Ca activation + recruitment. Hill-type models aren’t mechanistic, hopeless for dynamic transient conditions (ie life). 1/

Some say slow walking = high CoT, but that doesn't make sense. Usually wanna get somewhere, don't care about "per distance." We say slow walking = waste of time, which we DO care about. min COT not so useful. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (submitted ms) End/

How to walk on this terrain? Optimally ofc! Obviously, look ahead for footholds. Otherwise practically no data—most biomechanical studies only do steady level walking. "Humans plan for the near future to walk economically on uneven terrain" Submitted ms by O. Darici & me 🧵 1/

Thanks C-Motion for creating such a cool tutorial using our #Visual3D dataset 🙏 The tutorial explains how #Inspect3D may be used to clean and visualize the raw data files: c-motion.com/v3dwiki/index.…
