Dean Smith, clinical professor in the Department of Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Health at Miami University, co-authored a new publication in Biomechanics titled “Effects of Simulated Hyper-Gravity on Lower Limb Kinematics and Electromyography During Walking.” The study used a novel harness system to simulate increased gravitational load without added external mass, isolating the effects on gait kinematics and electromyography across varying load levels.
