The phrase "altered step" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a change in the way someone walks or moves, often implying a modification due to injury or fatigue.
Example: "After the accident, she walked with an altered step, making it clear that she was still in pain."
Alternatives: "changed gait" or "modified stride."
Dogs with neurological deficits were excluded, but dogs with orthopaedic abnormalities were included in order to determine whether coincident orthopaedic disease altered step sequence as many neurologic patients may have coincident orthopaedic conditions.
Introduce the variables of a botched snap, wind, an altered step pattern when pressured or a bad drop, and inconsistency is likely.
Genetic manipulations to specifically disrupt sensory feedback from the legs show that blocking proprioception results in altered step parameters and reduced walking precision, especially at slower speeds, but does not interfere with the ability of flies to execute a tripod gait.
After intervention between-group comparison revealed significant differences for initiation time of forward steps under dual task conditions (U = 9, P = 0.034, r = 0.55) and backward steps under dual task conditions (U = 10, P = 0.045, r = 0.52) in favor of the intervention group, showing altered stepping levels in the intervention group compared to the control group.
As mentioned above, CGSS significantly reduced the hip flexion angle and increased step length, without altering step frequency.
Moreover, during the final 10 sprints the CGSS significantly increased step length (P = 0.01, d = 0.91), without altering step frequency (P = 0.34, d = 0.2) and enhanced EMG activity in the rectus femoris muscle only (P = 0.01, effect size d = 1.24).
The major findings documented here are that during the final 10 of the 30 repeated sprints wearing the CGSS improved performance, lowered the rating of perceived exertion by the upper leg muscles, increased step length without altering step frequency, and enhanced muscle activation.
Our results suggest that diapers alone do not alter stepping patterns significantly, but sufficient additional weight and clothing beyond the diaper can affect movement frequency and quality in young infants.
These findings are in agreement with previous work highlighting that the occlusion of the lvf prior to and during step execution when stepping down from a stationary standing position, caused significant changes in landing control but without fundamentally altering stepping strategy [10].
When examining normal dogs the band did not alter stepping inconsistency, as measured by the variability ratio in either the thoracic (p = 0.22; paired t test) or the pelvic (p = 0.33; paired t test) limbs.
While adhering to the original template, Duato had altered the steps to the point where only a ghostly echo of Petipa's choreography remained.
