Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Human Movement Science

Background:

  • Sensory motor synchronization influences gait behavior.
  • Effective methods for promoting and sustaining synchronization in rehabilitation are needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new technique using synchronization to influence gait.
  • To compare gait behavior using this technique versus side-by-side walking.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-one subjects walked on a vertically oscillating treadmill.
  • Synchronization with platform oscillation and stride kinematics were recorded.
  • Data were compared to previously reported side-by-side walking data.

Main Results:

  • Vertical oscillation at preferred stride frequencies increased unintentional synchronization (78.6% vs 59.2%).
  • Synchronization periods were longer and more frequent on the oscillating treadmill (11.85 steps vs 5.18 steps).
  • Stride length, height, and duration were altered by oscillation frequency.

Conclusions:

  • Synchronization to a haptic signal, like an oscillating treadmill, can effectively alter gait.
  • This technique shows potential for clinical rehabilitation applications.
