Stability is an important concern during human walking and can limit mobility in clinical
populations. Mediolateral stability can be efficiently controlled through appropriate foot …

The role of the spine as a gait stabilizer is essential. Dynamic assessment, while walking,
might provide complementary data to improve spinal deformity management. The aim of this …

To ensure stability during gait, mediolateral placement of the swinging foot must be actively
regulated. Logically this occurs through end-point control of the swing limb trajectory, the …

Active control of the mediolateral location of the feet is an important component of a stable
bipedal walking pattern, although the roles of sensory feedback in this process are unclear …

Balance recovery during an unexpected disturbance is a complex motor task, where part of
the variability depends on the type of the perturbation itself. Despite of this, little is known to …

Margin of stability (MOS) is considered a measure of mechanical gait stability. Due to broad
application of treadmills in gait assessment experiments, we aimed to determine if walking …

Injurious falls associated with cell phone use during ambulation are increasingly common.
Studies examining texting while walking suggest this task alters the attentional component of …

The objective of the present study was to investigate the roles of lower-limb joint
proprioception in postural control during gait. Seventy-two healthy adults including 36 …

Previous studies using the uncontrolled manifold (UCM) analysis demonstrated that during
the swing phase of gait, multi-joint kinematic synergies act to stabilize, ie, minimize the …

Introduction: It has been recognized that practicing ballet could strengthen the leg muscles,
improve balance, and reduce fall risk. However, few studies have investigated how ballet …
