2023 article

Does the effect of walking balance perturbations generalize across contexts?

Shelton, A. D., McTaggart, E. M., Allen, J. L., Mercer, V. S., Crenshaw, J. R., & Franz, J. R. (2023, November 28). Human Movement Science.

By: A. Shelton n, E. McTaggart n, J. Allen *, V. Mercer *, J. Crenshaw * & J. Franz n

author keywords: Stability; Gait; Control
MeSH headings : Humans; Aged; Postural Balance; Walking; Optic Flow; Accidental Falls / prevention & control; Exercise Test; Gait; Biomechanical Phenomena
topics (OpenAlex): Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention; Injury Epidemiology and Prevention; Cerebral Palsy and Movement Disorders
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to determine if the effect of balance perturbations on instability generalizes across contexts, and found no "goldilocks" perturbation paradigm to endorse that would support universal interpretations about locomotor instability. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 article

Slowing down to preserve balance in the presence of optical flow perturbations

Shelton, A. D., McTaggart, E. M., Allen, J. L., Mercer, V. S., & Franz, J. R. (2022, July 1). Gait & Posture.

By: A. Shelton n, E. McTaggart n, J. Allen *, V. Mercer * & J. Franz n

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
topics (OpenAlex): Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention; Sports Performance and Training; Anomaly Detection Techniques and Applications
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.
