Changes in Spatiotemporal Parameters During Gait of Special Forces Operators with Additional External Load
Military load significantly modifies the temporal structure of gait in Special Forces Operators even at a constant, relatively low speed. The use of an instrumented treadmill with an integrated pressure platform and GRF measurement, as well as the registration of a large number of gait cycles, enabled the detection of subtle differences in spatiotemporal parameters and reliable assessment of stability and dynamic asymmetry under controlled laboratory conditions.
