Скачать или смотреть Which Leg Do You Spend More Time on While Walking? | Asymmetry Perception

Our walking pattern is very even or symmetrical. Our left and right steps are the same length and the time we spend on each leg is also equal. We don’t normally pay much attention to our pattern while we walk. But, if your walking pattern was altered, do you think you would be able to tell how much it was off? Our study "Perceptions of an Over-ground Induced Temporal Gait Asymmetry by Healthy Young Adults: A Qualitative Study" did exactly this. We had volunteers walk across a pressure sensitive mat that measured their walking pattern with weights attached to one of their legs. Then we asked them to estimate how “off” the timing of their walking pattern was. How accurate do you think people were? Check out the animated video to find out.
