Side dominance and eye patches obscuring half of the visual field do not affect walking kinematics

Abstract excerpt

Vision plays a fundamental role in the control of human locomotion, including walking gait. Given that side-dominance is associated with differences in motor control, the present study aimed to determine if patches obscuring half of the visual field affect left- and right-side dominant individuals' gait kinematics and accompanying leg muscle activation differently. Healthy right- (n = 15, age = 28.2 ± 5.5 years)...
