Speed-driven transitions between discrete and rhythmic dynamics in walking revealed by kinematic smoothness and muscle synergies

2026-04-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Humans control movement through motor primitives that generate discrete and rhythmic actions. We investigated whether and how speed may drive a transition between discrete and rhythmic organization in walking, and whether muscle synergy changes are associated with kinematic shifts. Eighteen healthy adults walked on a treadmill during incremental and decremental trials (0.5-5 km/h in 0.5 km/h step...
