This study compares the effects of sleep deprivation and dual-task walking on gait parameters, finding distinct impacts on movement stability and variability.

This study examines how individuals' self-perceived balance ability aligns with actual performance on a balance beam task, finding that task-specific practice improves self-estimation accuracy.

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.

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.

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.
