      Human walking exhibits properties of both stability and variability. On the one hand, the variability of the interval of time between heel strikes is autocorrelated, i.e., not randomly organized. On the other hand, walking is highly stereotyped and arguments from general mechanics suggest that the stability of gait can be assessed according to invariant properties. This study aims at proposing ...

      Previous research on unstable footwear has suggested that it may induce mechanical noise during walking. The purpose of this study was to explore whether unstable footwear could be considered as a noise-based training gear to exercise body center of mass (CoM) motion during walking. Ground reaction forces were collected among 24 healthy young women walking at speeds between 3 and 6 km h−1 with ...
