Gait variability

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Obstacle crossing increases gait variability in humans.

    “OBS elicited consistently greater variability in step length, width, time, double-support, and whole body angular momentum in both planes (all p < .01).”

Step length

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Obstacle crossing decreases step length in humans.

    “BOX and OBS reduced step length, and OBS also shortened step time and reduced late-stance TLA.”
