Non-Linear Gait Dynamics Are Affected by Commonly Occurring Outdoor Surfaces and Sex in Healthy Adults by Jill Emmerzaal, Patrick Ippersiel, Philippe C. Dixon

“…This study examined how seven outdoor surfaces—flat–even, banked-right/-left, cobblestone, grass, sloped-down, and sloped-up—affect nonlinear gait dynamics in 30 healthy adults (14 females and 15 males). (2) Methods: Trunk and shank accelerations were analyzed for movement predictability (sample entropy, SE), smoothness (log dimensionless jerk, LDLJ), symmetry (step/stride regularity), and stability (short-/long-term Lyapunov exponents, LyE_<i>s</i>, LyE_<i>l</i>). (3) Results: Surface type significantly influenced all gait metrics, regardless of sex. …”
