The Role of Entrainment in Human Walking: Energy Minimization in Oscillating Environments

2020-12-07

Abstract excerpt

During locomotion, humans often entrain (i.e. synchronize) their steps to external oscillations: e.g. swaying bridges, tandem walking, bouncy harnesses, vibrating treadmills, exoskeletons. Previous studies have discussed the role of nonlinear oscillators (e.g. central pattern generators) in facilitating entrainment. However, the underlying benefits of entrainment are unknown. Given substantial evidence that humans...
