Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Humans commonly engage in upper limb haptic interactions during bipedal locomotion, and the expansive use of our arms makes us unique compared to the quadrupeds we evolved from. Examples of these haptic interactions include walking while carrying an object, using environmental surfaces such as a railing to provide stability assistance, and holding hands while walking with another individual. These interactions may increase the complexity of our locomotor behaviors, such as when feedforward control is employed to dampen arm motion and dissipate reaction forces at heel contact to stabilize an object we are carrying. However, these interactions also increase the available sensory information in the upper limb and can be utilized to aid in locomotor adaptation. For instance, the interaction forces experienced when holding hands or during collaborative object transport can lead to an unconscious synchronization of gait patterns between the two individuals. Recent work has further suggested that upper limb haptic interactions may have clinical relevance for improving locomotion in pathological populations. This review brings a novel, integrative perspective by examining upper limb haptic interactions in locomotion across everyday, collaborative, and clinical scenarios. In particular, the review highlights the importance of studying upper limb haptic interactions from different viewpoints to gain insight into the neuromechanical control of adaptive locomotion, as well as to investigate how these interactions can be exploited for clinical use.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
