Lateral foot placement task performance

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Continuous lateral stepping has no effect on lateral foot placement task performance in humans.

    “Conversely, performance on the lateral foot placement task was unaffected by fatigue.”

  1. Continuous lateral stepping impairs mediolateral walking balance control in humans (+14% lateral displacement).

    “Fatigue significantly affected vulnerability to lateral waist-pull perturbations and elicited 14% larger lateral displacement”
