Kao P, Pierro M, Gonzalez D
Gait Posture . 2024 Jan; 109:70-77. PMID: 38281432
Background: Conventional balance and gait assessments for fall risk screening are often conducted under unperturbed conditions. However, older adults can allocate their attention to motor tasks (balance or walking) without...

Kao P, Lomasney C, Gu Y, Clark J, Yanco H
J Biomech . 2023 Jun; 156:111688. PMID: 37339542
Lower-body robotic exoskeletons can be used to reduce the energy demand of locomotion and increase the endurance of wearers. Understanding how motor fatigue affects walking performance may lead to better...

Kao P, Pierro M
Gait Posture . 2021 Dec; 92:167-175. PMID: 34856525
Background: Cognitive-walking interference is manifested when simultaneously performing a cognitive task while walking. However, majority of the dual-task walking paradigms incorporated relatively short testing trials and were focused on posing...

Kao P, Pierro M, Wu T, Gonzalez D, Seeley R
Exp Gerontol . 2021 Oct; 155:111582. PMID: 34637948
Background: Cognitive decline increases the risk of falls in older adults. Understanding the association between cognitive function, functional physical capacity, and falls may help identify targets for fall screening and...

Kao P, Pierro M
Gait Posture . 2021 Jul; 89:92-101. PMID: 34265526
Background: Investigating cognitive-motor interference on the treadmill allows for better examination of motor adaptation to the dual-task challenges through the information of continuous strides. However, one of the major critiques...

Wu Y, Norton A, Zielinski M, Kao P, Stanwicks A, Pang P, et al.
Hum Factors . 2021 Feb; 64(7):1137-1153. PMID: 33617350
Objective: To provide a comprehensive characterization of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) personal protective equipment (PPE) by evaluating its effects on the human body, specifically the poses, tasks, and conditions under...

Loverro K, Khuu A, Kao P, Lewis C
Gait Posture . 2019 Jan; 68:545-554. PMID: 30639795
Background: Individuals with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) often report hip pain and exhibit gait adaptations. Previous studies in this patient population have focused on average kinematic and acceleration...

Kao P, Srivastava S
PLoS One . 2018 Nov; 13(11):e0208120. PMID: 30496257
Community dwelling stroke survivors most often fall while walking. Understanding how post-stroke individuals control mediolateral footpath during walking may help elucidate the mechanisms that contribute to walking instability. By applying...

Kostraba B, Wu Y, Kao P, Stark C, Yen S, Roh J
J Phys Ther Sci . 2018 Aug; 30(8):1069-1072. PMID: 30154602
[Purpose] To examine muscular demands during self-propelled treadmill walking to provide a potential option for fitness training. [Participants and Methods] Eleven healthy college students were recruited. Participants walked under three...

Kao P, Pierro M, Booras K
PLoS One . 2018 Jul; 13(7):e0201433. PMID: 30048551
Cognitive-motor interference, a negative influence on the performance of one or both tasks, is manifested when simultaneously performing a cognitive and a motor task. Motor fatigue reduces the ability of...
