A comparison of anticipatory processes between gait and step initiation: The role of the final state
Our results show that mechanical instability is larger during gait initiation, while H<sub>M</sub> modulation is larger during step initiation. These findings suggest that the final state of a transition is taken into account during the anticipatory period. Based on our results, we suggest future research should use gait and step initiation to evaluate the generation of mechanical instability, and the use of free segments, respectively, in populations with balance deficits.
