Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The first hypothesis of this project is that footwear derived biomechanical challenges will convey active and passive matching biomechanical responses (i.e. kinetic, kinematic and electromyographic) trough out the musculoskeletal kinematic chain.
The second hypothesis of the project is that repetitive exposure to in-situ (trough out the gait sickle) introduction to a biomechanical stimulus would generate a process of motor learning thus conveying plasticity of existing locomotor patterns and gait strategies.
