Does dynamic stability govern propulsive force generation in human walking?
ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE, 4(11).
author keywords: variability; push-off; balance; walking speed; biofeedback; ageing
TL;DR:
It is found that young adults adopt an FP at their preferred walking speed that maximizes dynamic stability, and the onset of a diminished push-off in old age may independently contribute to poorer balance control and precipitate slower walking speeds.
