During walking, the center of mass (CoM) position can be controlled relative to the base of
support by shifts of the center of pressure through modulation of foot placement and ankle …

Falls are a problem, especially for older adults. Placing our feet accurately relative to the
center-of-mass helps us to prevent falling during gait. The degree of foot placement control …

Vestibular information modulates muscle activity during gait, presumably to contribute to
stability. If this is the case, stronger effects of perturbing vestibular information on local …

Abstract Background Individuals with Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy (HMSN)
are commonly provided with orthopedic footwear to improve gait. Although orthopedic …

In this paper we review what mechanisms are used to stabilize human bipedal gait. Based
on mechanical reasoning, potential mechanisms to control the body center of mass …

Background Many people with chronic stroke (PwCS) exhibit walking balance deficits linked
to increased fall risk and decreased balance confidence. One potential contributor to these …

Mediolateral ankle moment control contributes to gait stability. Ankle moments can be
constrained by walking with a shoe with a ridge underneath the sole, narrowing the …

Background Impaired balance during walking is a common problem in people with
incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). To improve walking capacity, it is crucial to characterize …

Mediolateral gait stability can be maintained by coordinating our foot placement with respect
to the center-of-mass (CoM) kinematic state. Neurological impairments can reduce the …
