When unexpected changes of the ground surface occur while walking, the human central nervous system needs to apply appropriate control actions to assure dynamic stability. Many studies in the motor control field have investigated the mechanisms of such a postural control and have widely described how center of mass (COM) trajectories, step patterns and muscle activity adapt to avoid loss of balance. Measurements we conducted show that when stepping over a soft ground, participants actively modulated the ground reaction forces (GRF) under the supporting foot in order to exploit the elastic and compliant properties of the surface to dampen the impact and to likely dissipate the mechanical energy accumulated during the ‘fall’ onto the new comp...
