Project description

Dit rpoject takes a closer look at human gait transitions. In detail this study will try to reveal the influence of accelerating (type and magnitude) on the kinematical realisation of the walk-to-run transitions, to what extent inter-individual differences (laterality, atropometrics and strenght) are determinative and how spontaneous accelerations manifest in changing environmental conditions.
