The influence of lateral stabilization on walking performance and balance control in neurologically-intact and post-stroke individuals

These results suggest that a reduction in pelvis motion alone, as opposed to relative motion between the pelvis and upper body, may increase HR, decrease balance control and diminish gait performance. This finding has important implications for locomotor therapies that may seek to reduce pelvis motion.
