The understanding of the strategy for Center of Mass (CoM) positioning adopted by patients during walking is important to be able to program treatments aimed at improving gait control and preventing falls. Forty-four persons with a mild-to-moderate neurological disorder (20 with MS, 14 with ST, 10 with PD) underwent clinical examination and gait analysis. Ten Healthy Subjects (HS) walking at matched speed provided the normative data. Dynamic balance was assessed using the margin of stability (MoS). It was calculated as the distance between the extrapolated Center of Pressure and the extrapolated CoM at mid-stance. The MoS values for lower limbs were calculated in patients and compared with speed-matched values of HS. Persons with neurological disorder showed increased MoS in the medio-lateral direction with respect to H...
