Sagittal-plane balance perturbations during very slow walking
Strategies for recovering linear and angular momentum
Spatiotemporal gait characteristics change during very slow walking, a relevant speed considering individuals with movement disorders or using assistive devices. However, we lack insights in how very slow walking affects human balance control. Therefore, we aimed to identify h ...
Humans prioritize regulation of the whole-body angular momentum (WBAM) during walking. When perturbed, modulations of the moment arm of the ground reaction force (GRF) with respect to the centre of mass (CoM) assist in recovering WBAM. For sagittal-plane perturbations of the W ...
Healthy individuals highly regulate their whole body angular momentum (WBAM) during walking. Since WBAM regulation is essential in maintaining balance, a better understanding is required on how healthy individuals recover from WBAM perturbations. We therefore studied how healt ...
Centre of mass (CoM) motion during human balance recovery is largely influenced by the ground reaction force (GRF) and the centre of pressure (CoP). During gait, foot placement creates a region of possible CoP locations in the following double support (DS). This study aims to ...
