Optimal estimation of complex aerial movements using dynamic optimization
(Routledge, 2022-06-01)When estimating full-body motion from experimental data, inverse kinematics followed by inverse dynamics does not guarantee dynamical consistency of the resulting motion, especially in movements where the trajectory depends heavily on the initial state, ... -
Gait adaptations of individuals with cerebral palsy on irregular surfaces : a scoping review
(Elsevier, 2022-05-10)Background Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) have a reduced ability to perform motor tasks such as walking. During daily walking, they are confronted with environmental constraints such as irregular surfaces (e.g., relief and uneven surfaces) which ... -

Optimal forward twisting pike somersault without self-collision
(Routledge & International Society of Biomechanics in Sports, 2022-03-23)In acrobatic sports, twisting fast before piking allows athletes to enlarge their scoring potential. Since planning the arm and hip movements to twist fast is unintuitive, optimal control appears as a powerful and risk-free tool. To our knowledge, ... -
