Jinfeng’s latest paper on gait perturbationsnews 2021 / By hellobrainlab / 2021-12-02 / graduate students, publications NEW & NOTEWORTHY Little is known about if and how humans can adapt to small magnitude perturbations experienced on a stride-by-stride basis during walking. Here, we show that even small perturbations disrupted gait stability and that subjects could still adapt their reactive balance control. Depending on the perturbation direction, subjects might prefer adjusting their foot placement over their center of mass and vice versa. These findings could help potentially tune balance training to target specific aspects of balance.
