During steady-state walking, mediolateral gait stability can be maintained by controlling the center of pressure (CoP). The CoP modulates the moment of the ground reaction force, which brakes and reverses movement of the center of mass (CoM) towards the lateral border of the base of support. ...
However, toe-offs occurred at greater distances may negatively impact the outcomes, since a large portion of the gait cycle labeled as the upcoming locomotor task is still within the previous mode. This could result in high misclassification rates especially during the transition period. In future...
Although these findings do question the ability of Stryd running power to accurately represent the running mechanical PO, we suggest that a wearable running power device need not evaluate running power in a manner that is true to the definition of mechanical PO to be useful. Indeed, as the ...
