An often-overlooked dino had a unique combo of traits linked with animals that spend at least part of their time underground, a study finds.

New study uncovers how a unique, fast synapse found in organs of the innermost ear keeps us from falling over.

A group of tiny frogs are so small they lose control when jumping, ungracefully pirouetting through the air before coming in for a crash-landing.

A 30-second single-leg stance could be an effective way to detect subtle deficiencies in a child's balance after a concussion, research shows.

A new implant could ease walking, relieve dizziness, and improve quality of life for people with a condition that causes loss of the inner ear's balance.

AI will help people using robotic prosthetics or exoskeletons walk securely on terrains, such as tile, brick, concrete, grass, and "upstairs" and "downstairs."

A bionic prosthesis that includes sensors that connect to residual nerves in the thigh allows amputees to feel their prosthetic foot and knee in real time.

To find out more about how people respond to stumbling, and to eventually create better prosthetics, scientists had to trip people 190 times.

A tripod foot could make walking on hiking trails and other rough terrain more manageable for people who use a prosthetic.

"For these veterans, it's like walking on a balance beam all day,"
