Locomotion and Posture in Older Adults
This book is an attempt to advance the discussion and improve our understanding about the effects of aging and movement disorders on motor control during walking and postural tasks. Despite these activities are performed daily, there is a high requirement of motor and neural systems in order to perform both tasks efficiently. Both walking and posture require a complex interaction of musculoskeletal and neural systems. However, the mechanisms used to control these tasks, as well as how they are planned and coordinated, are still a question of discussion among health professionals and researchers. In addition, this discussion is more interesting when the effects of aging are included in the co...
Gait, Balance, and Mobility Analysis
Gait, Balance, and Mobility Analysis: Theoretical, Technical, and Clinical Applications provides a comprehensive overview of gait and movement analysis techniques, from traditional motion capture to modern wearable technologies. The book contains both a technical element that focuses on biomechanics and engineering concepts for gait analysis and the application of gait analysis with clinical populations. Beginning with a comprehensive background on the underlying neural control of gait and mobility in humans and physiological control of balance, the book then covers analysis methods and techniques for laboratory, clinic or remote patient assessment. It then examines how gait, mobility and ba...
Eye Tracking
This volume explores the latest eye-tracking methodologies that help researchers understand the background, methods, and applications involved in these studies. The chapters in this book cover topics such as methods and models of eye-tracking in natural environments; natural gaze informatics (i.e., assisted wheelchair mobility); eye-tracking application to understand the visual control of locomotion; eye movement in neurological disorders; and eye movements in sports research and practice. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Cutting-edge and practical, Eye Tracking: Background, Methods, and Applications is a valuable resource for experienced and novice researchers interested in learning more about this field and its future developments.
Artes Cênicas e Decolonialidade
Esse livro surge como resultante do Projeto de Extensão Artes Cênicas e Decolonialidade, do Departamento de Artes Cênicas do Instituto de Artes da Universidade de Brasília. Tendo sua primeira edição em 2020, contou com artistas-pesquisadores/as que dialogam com a temática decolonial e seus correlatos, como descolonialidade, contracolonialidade, pós-colonialidade, pensamento não hegemônico, quilombismo etc. A ideia do e-book vem da potência que foi esse momento de palestras virtuais e do desejo em registrar e divulgar de forma gratuita, para amplo acesso, os conteúdos abordados nessa primeira edição do projeto.

The Role of Institutions
We live in a world of inequalities. Every day, people are born to intensely degrading realities that curb their opportunities of success and perpetrate a vicious cycle of poverty. "The Role of Institutions: Devising Mechanisms for an Inclusive World" explores how the institutional framework contributes to the maintenance or reduction of such inequalities, analyzing the impacts – both positive and negative – of existing institutions in specific scenarios. Each of the eight articles approaches a pressing theme of the international agenda – including rule of law; fiscal responsibility; health conditions in refugees' camps; disaster risk management; labor standards; gender-based structural violence; nuclear weapons control; and state failure –, analyzing the role institutions play on the definition of the fate of countries and their citizens.
