TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of speed on lateral stability and found that increased stepping variability at faster speeds may be beneficial for lateral center of mass (COM) control, while individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury were able to maintain lateral stability when walking fast in balance-challenging conditions but may have employed more cautious maneuver strategies.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the relationship between the ability to control lateral COM motion during walking and functional measures of gait and balance in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the correlation between lateral COM state and lateral foot placement (FP), as well as step width mean and variability, and found that there is a post-stroke shift towards a nonspecific lateral stabilization strategy that relies on wide steps that are less correlated to COM dynamics than in individuals without stroke.

TL;DR: This work compares maneuver performance in varying external conditions between persons with and without iSCI to better understand maneuver stabilization strategies in people with i SCI, and finds different force fields were successful in unpacking relatively subtle strategy differences.
