Adapting gait with asymmetric visual feedback affects deadaptation but not adaptation in healthy young adults.

Split-belt treadmill walking allows researchers to understand how new gait patterns are acquired. Initially, the belts move at two different speeds, inducing asymmetric step lengths. As people adapt their gait on a split-belt treadmill, left and right step lengths become more symmetric over time. Up...
