investigate empirically the link between fractal scaling and adaptive gait performance ( Ducharme, 2017 ). Fifteen young, healthy adults walked on a split-belt treadmill that elicited gait asymmetries by moving treadmill belts at different speeds, thereby forcing participants to modify locomotor patterns
Electrical Stimulation of Distal Tibial Nerve During Stance Phase of Walking May Reverse Effects of Unilateral Paw Pad Anesthesia in the Cat

balance and interlimb coordination during quadrupedal locomotion ( Latash et al., 2020 ; Park et al., 2019 ). Unilateral paw pad anesthesia in cats walking on a split-belt treadmill with different speed ratios caused a shift of the center of mass (COM) toward the anesthetized side, a decrease in the
