The paper uses simulations to show that passive prostheses increase walking effort for both propulsion and stabilization, while active prostheses reduce effort but require full sensory feedback to fully restore metabolic cost.

This study investigates how walking speed affects the metabolic cost of balance control, finding that faster speeds reduce the energy needed to stabilize walking.

The paper measures how long-range autocorrelations in stride durations change during transitions between self-paced walking and synchronization with a metronome, and validates these findings with a computational model.
