Study Timeline
Dates and qualifiers reported by the registry. Estimated dates do not confirm that a milestone has occurred.
Each participant was instructed to walk bare feet with a comfortable, self-selected speed along a 10-meter walkway while the trajectories of reflective markers and forces were respectively recorded through 12 optoelectronic cameras (Vicon Motion Systems Ltd., Oxford, UK) with a 120-Hz sampling rate and two force plates at 1000 Hz.
