The basin of entrainment was compared with the average walking period and the variability of walking cadence. Basin of entrainment to walking cadence ratio was evaluated as , where τbefore is the average walking period of last 15 strides before perturbation. Basin of entrainment to variability ratio was evaluated as
, where σbefore is the standard deviation of walking period of last 15 strides before perturbation. SD means standard deviation.
