      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 ...

      Introduction: The variability of human walking has been studied for about twenty years. It appears not to be random but long-term autocorrelated, i.e. on time scales corresponding to several hundreds of gait cycles. It has been shown that the central nervous system (CNS) plays an important role in this variability. Indeed, people with CNS alterations have a different autocorrelation pattern than ...
