Application of neural oscillators to study the effects of walking speed on rhythmic activations at the ankle

Conclusion: We showed that SPG in the spinal cord can interpret and respond accordingly to velocity-dependent afferent information. Changes in walking speed do not require a different motor control mechanism provided there is no disruption to the alternating muscular activations generated at the ankle.
