Until recently, quantitative studies of walking have typically focused on properties of a typical
or average stride, ignoring the stride-to-stride fluctuations and considering these fluctuations …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of walking speed on the amount
and structure of the stride-to-stride fluctuations of the gait cycle. Based on previous findings …

The study of gait variability, the stride-to-stride fluctuations in walking, offers a
complementary way of quantifying locomotion and its changes with aging and disease as …

Many older adults walk with a cautious and impaired gait of unknown origin, however, the
relationship between fear of falling and the observed gait changes is not well understood. To …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common, debilitating neurodegenerative disease. Gait
disturbances are a frequent cause of disability and impairment for patients with PD. This …

Purpose To compare the stride-to-stride fluctuations, regularity and symmetry of gait using a
body-fixed accelerometer in a group of healthy young and healthy older adults. Methods …

Gait is complex, described by diverse characteristics underpinned by widespread central
nervous system networks including motor and cognitive functions. Despite this, neural …

Human locomotion, even over a level smooth surface, is a complex task requiring the
coordination of a large number of muscles acting over a collective of joints. The …

This study focused on spatial and temporal variability of the stride in human gait. We
determined the role of stride frequency (F) and stride length (L) on those parameters. Eight …
