People with gait impairments, like people who walk with a prosthesis or people who are recovering from a 
stroke, fall far more often during walking compared to able-bodied controls.  The main purpose of the research 
presented in this thesis was to investigate which strategies, in terms of adjustments of the gait pattern, are 
and can be used by these people to minimize fall risk during walking. Based on the results presented in this 
thesis evaluation and rehabilitaion protocols can be designed with the purpose to minimize the risk of falling.
