FIGURE 3.

Diagram of the locomotor pointing task consisting of an approaching phase and a target-pointing phase. Participants were instructed to place themselves in the starting area and to start walking with the right leg. For each trial, participants were asked to place their right foot tip as close as possible to the lower extremity of the target while walking at a normal pace and continuing to walk subsequently. The position of the target was manipulated unbeknownst to the participants (3 different target positions: 0 ± 20 cm). The blue hatched area represents the area for calculating the average gait speed (i.e., the first five steps).
