Hysteresis in Center of Mass Velocity Control during the Stance Phase of Treadmill Walking

Achieving a soft landing during walking can be quantified by analyzing changes in the vertical velocity of the body center of mass (CoM) just prior to the landing of the swing limb. Previous research suggests that walking speed and step length may predictably influence the extent of this CoM control...
