Most people use a variety of gait patterns each day. These changes can come about by voluntary actions, such as a decision to walk faster when running late. They can also be a result of both conscious and subconscious changes made to account for variation in the environmental conditions. Many factors can play a role in determining the optimal gait patterns, but the relative importance of each could vary between subjects. A goal of this study was to investigate whether subjects used consistent gait strategies when walking on an unstable support surface.
