Movement behavior of high-heeled walking: how does the nervous system control the ankle joint during an unstable walking condition?
The human locomotor system is flexible and enables humans to move without falling even under less than optimal conditions. Walking with high-heeled shoes constitutes an unstable condition and here we ask how the nervous system controls the ankle joint in this situation? We investigated the movement...
