DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2017.12.026

Abstract: Young, healthy adults walking at typical preferred speeds use step-by-step adjustments of step width to appropriately redirect their center of mass motion and ensure mediolateral stability. However, it is presently unclear whether this control strategy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2019.05.021

Abstract: The subtalar joint (STJ) contributes to the absorption and generation of mechanical energy (and power) during walking to maintain frontal plane stability. Previous observational studies have suggested that there may be a relationship between step… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41597-025-05113-6

Abstract: The mediolateral distance between both heels at first contact is known as step width, defined as a frontal plane spatial variable. Short-term variations in step width during walking and running may impact the lower-limb biomechanics… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/jbhi.2024.3470310

Abstract: Step width is vital for gait stability, postural balance control, and fall risk reduction. However, estimating step width typically requires either fixed cameras or a full kinematic body suit of wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tnsre.2025.3570241

Abstract: Gait variability, the subtle fluctuations in walking patterns, is crucial for adaptation and motor learning. While existing methods to increase gait variability often rely on force-based perturbations, these can reduce motivation. This study explored if… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.636960

Abstract: Background At the beginning of a sprint, the acceleration of the body center of mass (COM) is driven mostly forward and vertically in order to move from an initial crouched position to a more forward-leaning… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19159656

Abstract: We investigated the effect of prolonged running on joint kinematics and its association with stride complexity between novice and elite runners. Ten elite marathoners and eleven healthy individuals took part in a 20 min submaximal… read more here.
