author keywords: Stability; Walking; Gait; Speed
MeSH headings : Adult; Exercise Test; Female; Gait / physiology; Humans; Male; Optic Flow; Postural Balance / physiology; Walking / physiology; Young Adult
TL;DR:
The findings suggest that during walking, when presented with a balance challenge, an individual will instinctively reduce their walking speed in order to better preserve stability, but comparisons to prior literature suggest that this response may depend on environmental and/or perturbation context.
