The Elusive Stepping Pattern

The Elusive Stepping Pattern

Stepping is a class of complex coordinated movements allowing a standing individual to relocate oneself locally with a potentially large body reorientation. Being a key component of numerous higher-level activities, it deserves to be studied for itself. Due to the local nature of the relocation such...

description Stepping is a class of complex coordinated movements allowing a standing individual to relocate oneself locally with a potentially large body reorientation.
