Quantifying mechanical and metabolic interdependence between speed and propulsive force during walking

Pimentel, R. E., Feldman, J. N., Lewek, M. D., & Franz, J. R. (2022, September 9). Frontiers in Sports and Active Living.

By: R. Pimentel*, J. Feldman*, M. Lewek* & J. Franz*

author keywords: gait; locomotion; treadmill; walking economy; energy expenditure; push-off
topics (OpenAlex): Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention; Cerebral Palsy and Movement Disorders; Muscle activation and electromyography studies
TL;DR: Empirical data is provided in support of an interdependent relation between propulsive force (FP) and walking speed, building confidence that interventions designed to increase FP will translate to improved walking speed. (via Semantic Scholar)
