Characterising intra- and inter-limb gait stability using minimum foot clearance
This research examined aging effects by characterising one parameter of the gait cycle from treadmill walking. The minimum foot clearance (MFC) during the swing phase of gait is an essential event that reveals two things: 1) how the locomotor system achieves control over many degrees of freedom …

Inter-limb asymmetry: longitudinal monitoring and associations with speed and change of direction speed in elite academy soccer players
Inter-limb asymmetry has been a popular topic of investigation in recent years, with the majority of studies reporting the prevalence of asymmetry during different test protocols in athlete and non-athlete populations, and between genders. However, such information does little to inform …
