Control of the motion of the body's center of mass in relation to the center of pressure during high-heeled gait

Control of the motion of the body's center of mass in relation to the center of pressure during high-heeled gait

Highlights ► Young adults adopt a conservative strategy for balance control during narrow-heeled gait. ► The reduced base but the height of the heels led to the reduced normalized walking speed. ► The reduced heel base was responsible for a reduced frontal COM–COP inclination angles. ► Control of th...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► Young adults adopt a conservative strategy for balance control during narrow-heeled gait. ► The reduced base but the height of the heels led to the reduced normalized walking speed. ► The reduced heel base was responsible for a reduced frontal COM–COP inclination angles. ► Control of the COM–COP motion during double-leg stance is critical for balance.
