BAT Lab Presents Research at Dynamic Walking, and BANCOM Conferences

Posted by on Friday, June 10, 2016 in News.

Eric Lamers, Erik Honert, Matt Yandell and Prof. Zelik presented their research earlier this week at the Dynamic Walking conference in Holly, Michigan. Topics included the benefits of prosthetic ankle range of motion for lower-limb amputees, the biomechanical role of the toes in bipedal locomotion, and characterization of the human-exosuit physical interface, to look at how power is transferred from the exosuit to the human user to augment movement (the latter is research done in collaboration with Prof. Walsh’s group at Harvard).

Prof. Zelik will also be attending the Biomechanics and Neural Control of Movement conference next week, and presenting work entitled “From muscle-tendon to whole-body dynamics: towards a multi-scale empirical understanding of human movement biomechanics.”
