This study investigates how perceptual salience affects lateral stepping regulation during walking on straight and winding paths.

This study investigates how visual information affects lateral balance during walking on straight and winding paths, finding that reduced visual contrast and richness increase stepping errors and instability.

The paper develops a model of human stepping regulation that integrates mechanical and motor templates to explain semistable walking patterns observed in experiments.

This study examines how mediolateral balance is affected when walking on winding paths, finding that narrower paths and higher sinuosity increase stepping errors and instability risk.

This study examines how people adjust their stepping during straight and winding walks, finding that narrower paths and faster winding require more precise lateral control.

This study examines how older adults adapt their stepping during lateral maneuvers and how physical and perceived balance ability affect their performance.

This study examines how older and younger adults adjust lateral balance while walking on narrowing paths, finding that older adults show greater MoSL variability and different instability risk patterns.

The paper proposes a new convention for defining step parameters in non-straight walking by aligning coordinates to walking paths, showing reduced errors and consistency with straight walking concepts.

This paper demonstrates that humans adaptively regulate lateral stepping during maneuvers by evolving cost landscapes, consistent with theoretical predictions and previous models.
