  • Only Matthis et al. (2018) and Kowalsky et al. (2021) have used IMUs to record walking on complex natural terrains outdoors, and neither report joint kinematics in their study.

    “To our knowledge, only Matthis et al. (2018) and Kowalsky et al. (2021) have used IMUs to record walking on complex natural terrains outdoors, and neither report joint kinematics in their study.”

    From Forest terrains influence walking kinematics among indigenous Tsimane of the Bolivian Amazon (2022) · cites this paper as Matthis et al., 2018

    The Results and STAR Methods (METHOD DETAILS; page numbers unavailable) confirm that Matthis et al. used IMUs to record walking on rocky outdoor terrain. The passages describe analyses of gaze and foot placement rather than reporting joint kinematics. This paper cannot establish that only it and Kowalsky et al. used IMUs in such settings, or what Kowalsky et al. reported. (LLM, conf=0.83)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Recent studies of walking on rocky terrains found individuals significantly reduced their step lengths to achieve more stable foot placement compared with walking on flat, even surfaces, which more than doubled their walking costs.

    “Several recent studies of walking on rocky terrains found the individuals significantly reduced their step lengths to achieve more stable foot placement when compared with walking on flat, even surfaces (Gast, Kram, & Riemer, 2019; Matthis et al., 2018), which more than doubled their walking costs (Gast et al., 2019)”
  • Natural terrains such as rocky ground, savannah brushland and forest floors are characterised by uneven textures, three-dimensional impediments and varying firmness that could cause individuals to alter their standard kinematics to maintain balance and/or avoid stepping on hazardous objects.

    “The surfaces of many natural terrains, such as rocky ground, savannah brushland and forest floors, are characterised by uneven textures, three-dimensional impediments (e.g. rocks, roots, vegetation) and varying firmness that could cause individuals to alter their ‘standard’ kinematics to maintain balance and/or avoid stepping on hazardous objects (Matthis, Yates, & Hayhoe, 2018; Venkataraman et al”
  • Matthis et al. (2018) found that, when walking on rocky terrain, people maintain their gaze on the ground in front of them roughly 95% of the time to plan foot placement two to three steps ahead of the current one.

    “Matthis et al. (2018) found that, when walking on rocky terrain, people maintain their gaze on the ground in front of them roughly 95% of the time to plan foot placement two to three steps ahead of the current one.”
  • Matthis et al. (2018) observed shorter steps on average but greater step length variability in people walking on rocky terrain compared with even terrain.

    “This scenario would be consistent with the findings of Matthis et al. (2018), who observed shorter steps on average but greater step length variability in people walking on rocky terrain compared with even terrain.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
