Do speed amplitude and period affect gait variability and step followability under sinusoidal speed changing conditions?
Amplitude of sinusoidal speed changes increased anteroposterior, but not lateral, gait variability regardless of period. Distal and proximal limbs are controlled differently when continuous step adjustments are required, and this may be attributed to step variabilities.
