Many existing ATM control schemes are solely based on position on the belt and do not respond to changes in gait mechanics, like propulsive forces, that result in increased overground walking speed. To target natural causal mechanisms to alter speed, we developed an ATM controller that adjusts speed via changes in position, step length, and propulsion. Gains on each input dictate the impact of the corresponding parameter on belt speed. The study objective was to determine the effect of modifying the position gain on self-selected walking speed, measures of propulsion, and step length. Twenty-two participants walked at their self-selected speed with four ATM controllers, each with a unique position gain. Walking speed, anterior and posterior ground reaction force peaks and impulses, net impulse, and step length were compared between conditions. Smaller position gains promoted more equivalent anterior and posterior impulses, resulting in a net impulse closer to zero (p\u2009=\u20090.0043), a characteristic of healthy gait. Walking speed, anterior and posterior ground reaction force peaks and impulses, and step length did not change between conditions (all p\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05). These results suggest that reducing the importance of position in the ATM controller may promote more balanced anterior and posterior impulses, possibly improving the efficacy of the ATM for gait rehabilitation by emphasizing changes in gait mechanics instead of position to naturally adjust speed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4063823","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]],"date-time":"2023-10-18T16:22:43Z","timestamp":1697646163000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["How Important is Position in Adaptive Treadmill Control?"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"146","author":[{"given":"Kaitlyn E.","family":"Downer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Delaware , 540 S.
