Tests to detect gait impairment in older adults typically focus on straight walking -- a rhythmic and simple form of movement. But new research sheds light on "curve walking," which demands ...

People with early cognitive impairment may find a curved path more difficult to follow than a straight one. Simple curved walking tests could provide a cheap and easy way to assess possible ...

A first-of-its-kind study suggests that to detect subtle gait impairments in older adults that often are prevalent in the early stages of cognitive decline, "throw them a curve." ...

The rate at which the ISS falls as it follows its curved path equals the rate at which the curved surface of Earth drops away below it.

There are three path types in Planet Coaster 2 and they all work differently. Here are the answers to some path FAQs.

Versatility: Ideal for straight or curved paths. However, since pavers require a compact gravel base, changing the path later is a huge job.

Wonky spheres can be sculpted to roll eternally downhill along any possible path, as long as the path repeats. These “trajectoids” could be used to design robots that follow particular routes ...

Jing’s team 3-D printed acoustic panels with zigzag air channels. Adjusting the path length of each channel let the team steer ultrasonic waves into curved paths.

By making the couplings between segments more flexible, the robot changes from walking straight to moving in a curved path. This work can lead to more energy-efficient and reliable robotic ...
