Uncontrolled manifold analysis of gait variability: Effects of load carriage and fatigue

Highlights ► We examined the effects of load carriage and fatigue on gait variability using the uncontrolled manifold analysis. ► Sagittal ⊥UCM was found to increase with the application of high back-carrying load. ► We also found that frontal UCM ratio significantly changed with the application of...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► We examined the effects of load carriage and fatigue on gait variability using the uncontrolled manifold analysis. ► Sagittal ⊥UCM was found to increase with the application of high back-carrying load. ► We also found that frontal UCM ratio significantly changed with the application of back-carrying load and fatigue. ► Motor variability in both the sagittal and frontal planes was greater at heel contact versus toe off.
