About This Trial
This study will investigate the effects of ankle evertor muscle fatigue on gait stability during treadmill walking with mechanical perturbations. Participants will walk at two speeds (0.4 m/s and 1.0 m/s) while random medial and lateral perturbations (\<10% body weight) are applied to the pelvis. Surface EMG from ankle muscles and center of pressure (COP)-based gait parameters (e.g., step length, …
