The uncontrolled manifold (UCM) framework was employed to investigate the presence of a multi-joint synergy stabilizing foot height during the swing phase of treadmill running and its potential dependence on running speed. Experienced runners ( = 28; aged 22-51) ran on an instrumented treadmill set...
