Understanding how to control stability when running, particularly when being exposed to uneven terrain, is vital to prevent falls and to get an insight into compensatory strategies while running on uneven terrain. The purpose of this study was to assess surface related differences of the margin of stability, kinematics of hip and knee and upper body acceleration which may affect the control of running stability. Eighteen healthy younger adults ran on an even and an uneven surfaced treadmill for two minutes at fixed speeds of 2.0 m/s (female) and 2.2 m/s (male), respectively. Results showed an unchanged margin of stability in both conditions. Further, lower limb kinematics, step width variability and upper body acceleration increased on the uneven surface meaningfully to keep the extrapolated centre of mass within the base of support
