This study investigates asymmetric surface stiffness walking's effects on gait symmetry in healthy adults, finding increased vertical GRF and plantar flexor activity on the perturbed side.

This study uses robotic footwear to induce asymmetrical ground stiffness perturbations and quantifies gait adaptations in participants, showing shifts in neuromotor control toward the unperturbed limb.

This paper introduces adjustable compliance footwear to study gait adaptation during treadmill and overground walking, demonstrating its ability to rapidly change midsole compliance and measure sole deflection.

AdjuSST is a treadmill with adjustable surface stiffness that enables study of human adaptation to changing foot-ground dynamics and aids gait rehabilitation.

This study shows that asymmetric hip stiffness from a robotic exoskeleton can induce gait adaptation similar to split-belt treadmill training.

This study shows that applying bilateral asymmetric hip stiffness via a robotic exoskeleton leads to kinematic and kinetic adaptations in walking, similar to split-belt treadmill training.

The paper simulates split-belt treadmill walking using a musculoskeletal model to test if energy minimization drives adaptation, finding that the model adopts positive step length asymmetry and reduces metabolic rate, unlike human behavior.

This study compares two simulation methods to model human gait adaptation to asymmetrical surface stiffness, revealing biomechanical changes and the impact of damping on muscle activity.
