Sentence examples for increased step width from inspiring English sources

Regardless of the underlying explanation for an increased step width, a consequence of increased step width is that the foot is more lateral with each step.

It has been argued that increased step width reflects a need for augmented stability during pregnancy [ 14], however Foti et al. [ 10] suggested that increased step width is a consequence of increased pelvic width.

In multimorbid and disabled persons we also saw a slower walk, shorter steps and an increased step width.

Whether the increased step width is a mechanical consequence of increased pelvic width or a response to a need for stability is unresolved.

Overweight and obesity negatively affect gait through lower speed, shorter strides and increased step width, resulting in higher cost of walking (Peyrot et al. 2009).
