Walking with wider steps changes foot placement control, increases kinematic variability and does not improve linear stability

Walking humans respond to pulls or pushes on their upper body by changing where they place their foot on the next step. Usually, they place their foot further along the direction of the upper body perturbation. Here, we examine how this foot placement response is affected by the average step width d...
