Quantifying mechanical and metabolic interdependence between speed and propulsive force during walking

Quantifying mechanical and metabolic interdependence between speed and propulsive force during walking

Walking speed is a useful surrogate for health status across the population. Walking speed appears to be governed in part by interlimb coordination between propulsive (FP) and braking (FB) forces generated during step-to-step transitions and is simultaneously optimized to minimize metabolic cost. Of...
