McDonald K, Cusumano J, Hieronymi A, Rubenson J
Proc Biol Sci . 2022 Oct; 289(1985):20221189. PMID: 36285498
Metabolic cost minimization is thought to underscore the neural control of locomotion. Yet, avoiding high muscle activation, a cause of fatigue, often outperforms energy minimization in computational predictions of human...

Rubenson J, Sawicki G
Sci Robot . 2022 Mar; 7(64):eabo2147. PMID: 35294221
Recapitulating avian locomotion opens the door for simple and economical control of legged robots without sensory feedback systems.

Cox S, DeBoef A, Salzano M, Katugam K, Piazza S, Rubenson J
J Exp Biol . 2021 Sep; 224(21). PMID: 34522962
Elastic energy storage and release can enhance performance that would otherwise be limited by the force-velocity constraints of muscle. Although functional influence of a biological spring depends on tuning between...

Katugam K, Cox S, Salzano M, De Boef A, Hast M, Neuberger T, et al.
Front Bioeng Biotechnol . 2020 Sep; 8:994. PMID: 32984280
Tendon mechanical properties respond to altered load in adults, but how load history during growth affects adult tendon properties remains unclear. To address this question, we adopted an avian model...

Cox S, Salzano M, Piazza S, Rubenson J
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2019 Nov; 128(1):50-58. PMID: 31751181
Decreases in activity levels in children worldwide are feared to have long-term health repercussions. Yet, because of the difficulty of performing controlled long-term studies in humans, we do not yet...

McDonald K, Cusumano J, Peeling P, Rubenson J
J R Soc Interface . 2019 Sep; 16(158):20190227. PMID: 31506049
Minimization of metabolic energy is considered a fundamental principle of human locomotion, as demonstrated by an alignment between the preferred walking speed (PWS) and the speed incurring the lowest metabolic...

McDonald K, Devaprakash D, Rubenson J
J Exp Biol . 2019 Apr; 222(Pt 9). PMID: 30967514
Center of mass (COM) control has been proposed to serve economy- and stability-related locomotor task objectives. However, given the lack of evidence supporting direct sensing and/or regulation of the COM,...

Pires N, Lay B, Rubenson J
J Exp Biol . 2018 Jun; 221(Pt 16). PMID: 29903837
Surprisingly little information exists of the mechanics in the steps initializing the walk-to-run transition (WRT) in humans. Here, we assess how mechanical work of the limbs (vertical and horizontal) and...

Young S, Gardiner B, Mehdizadeh A, Rubenson J, Umberger B, Smith D
PLoS Comput Biol . 2016 Sep; 12(9):e1005106. PMID: 27684554
While it is known that musculotendon units adapt to their load environments, there is only a limited understanding of tendon adaptation in vivo. Here we develop a computational model of...

Panizzolo F, Maiorana A, Naylor L, Dembo L, Lloyd D, Green D, et al.
PeerJ . 2016 Sep; 4:e2447. PMID: 27672504
Background: Alterations in skeletal muscle function and architecture have been linked to the compromised exercise capacity characterizing chronic heart failure (CHF). However, how passive skeletal muscle force is affected in...
