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 Inline graphic, where τbefore is the average walking period of last 15 strides before perturbation. Basin of entrainment to variability ratio was evaluated as Inline graphic, where σbefore is the standard deviation of walking period of last 15 strides before perturbation. SD means standard deviation.
