Neurorobotics explores Gait Movement in the Sporting Community

Gait movement refers to the motion and pattern of how an individual walks. Gait movement is a complex combination of balance, movement (stance and swing phase) and coordination of different muscle groups. Neurological damage and disease can lead to impairments which prevent individuals from performing gait movement. Research within the Neurorobotics community has provided innovative solutions that can help the reduce the time needed for rehabilitation.

This Research Topic aims to compile research that focuses on gait analysis methods. In the wake of the successful Olympics and Paralympics, this Research Topic would like to focus on research that will be applicable to sporting community. We hope that the research uncovered will be able to provide cutting edge technology for athletes at the top of their game.

This Research Topic welcomes research on but not limited to:

- Coordination (upper and lower limb coordination, swing phase
and stance phase, et cetera)
- Ankle mobility and movement
- Exoskeletons
- Assistive recovery
- Active movement
