The impact of changes in gait speed and step frequency on the extent of the center of mass displacements.

Center of mass (COM) trajectory plays a crucial role in the analysis of human body movements. This research aimed at studying vertical and transverse COM displacements during gait on a treadmill at a given velocity and step frequency. Locomotion study was accomplished using: Vicon 250, Cardionics Treadmill 3113 and metronome Korg Ma-30.
