In order to distinguish dysfunctional gait, clinicians require a measure of reference gait
parameters for each population. This study provided normative values for widely used …

Impaired walking increases injury risk during locomotion, including falls-related acute
injuries and overuse damage to lower limb joints. Gait impairments seriously restrict …

Background Fatigue and ageing contribute to impaired control of walking and are linked to
falls. In this project, fatigue was induced by maximum speed walking to examine fatigue …

Pedestrians regularly engage with their mobile phone whilst walking. The current study
investigated how mobile phone use affects where people look (visual search behaviour) and …

Abstract Background Patients with Parkinson disease (PD) experience problems such as
falls and freezing of gait during walking and turning in daily activities. However, few studies …

Humans' balance recovery responses to gait perturbations are negatively impacted with
ageing. Slip and trip events, the main causes preceding falls during walking, are likely to …

Minimum toe clearance (MTC) occurs during a highly dynamic phase of the gait cycle and is
associated with the highest risk of unintentional contact with obstacles or the ground. Age …

It is sometimes difficult to obtain uninterrupted data sets that are long enough to perform
nonlinear analysis, especially in pathological populations. It is currently unclear as to how …

Falls risk increases with ageing but is substantially higher in people with stroke. Tripping-
related balance loss is the primary cause of falls, and Minimum Toe Clearance (MTC) during …

Background: Minimum toe clearance is a critical gait event because it coincides with peak
forward velocity of the swing foot, and thus, there is an increased risk of tripping and falling …
