Spatiotemporal gait parameter changes due to exposure to vertical whole-body vibration

Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article.

Alterations in Step Width and Reaction Times in Walking Subjects Exposed to Mediolateral Foot-Transmitted Vibration

“…Research on horizontal vibration has mainly focused on side-to-side movement (mediolateral direction). When exposed to low-frequency horizontal vibration (below 2 Hz), people tend to adjust their walking by taking wider and faster steps to avoid falling [14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
