Maintaining balance during gait in the mediolateral direction requires more active motor control than in the anteroposterior direction. Step width modulation is a key strategy used by healthy individuals to achieve mediolateral walking balance, but it can be disrupted in populations with poor sensorimotor integration and weak hip abductors, such as the elderly, stroke patients, and people with low...
