Self-paced treadmills allow individuals to continuously regulate belt speed and may more closely replicate overground locomotion than fixed-speed conditions. However, their effects on gait variability and stability, particularly during running, remain incompletely understood. This study compared self-paced (SFP) and constant-speed (CON) treadmill locomotion during walking and running at matched average speeds.

Twenty-eight healthy adults completed SFP and CON walking and running trials. Spatiotemporal characteristics were assessed using mean values and coefficients of variation (CV) for stride length, step frequency, step width, and stance ratio (duty factor in running). Global stability was evaluated using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), and local dynamic stability using the maximum Lyapunov exponent.
