Abstract:The protocol utilized a side-by-side split-belt instrumented treadmill to simulate a trip-like perturbation. Compared to previously published methodologies, this new protocol is focused on delivering the perturbation at a precise timepoint during gait. Programmed treadmill belt acceleration profiles are triggered unilaterally at the instant the tripped leg bears 20-25% of the body weight in early stance phase. The belt acceleration profile starts from a comfortable walking speed, followed by a sudden slowdown,… Show more
