Thrilled to have this one out #OpenAccess today in @RSocPublishing #ProcB 🙂. We show that the principle of energy optimality in human locomotion can extend to complex multi-step locomotor manoeuvres requiring advance decision-making. (1/6) tinyurl.com/aafd6zwd

Human locomotion over obstacles reveals real-time prediction of energy expenditure for optimized...

Abstract. Despite decades of evidence revealing a multitude of ways in which animals are adapted to minimize the energy cost of locomotion, little is known

People with dyspraxia are at high risk of falling – and it’s too often overlooked

Most (72%) people with dyspraxia report high anxiety about falling – yet they’re not even mentioned in fall prevention guidelines.
