▼ To decrease auto use and encourage public transit usage, transit-oriented development has been growing in importance. However, a few existing studies have examined the travel modes to transit stations. This research addresses this gap of knowledge by examining multi-level factors, including socio-demographic factors of individuals, socioeconomic characteristics, built environment attributes, and safety factors influencing walking to transit stations in the city of Los Angeles, California. This study primarily relies on travel survey data from the Post-Census Regional Household Travel Survey conducted from 2001 to 2003 by the Southern California Association of Governments. In the first phase, this research uses bivariate linear regression models to examine the disparities of the built environment across the station areas. The results indicate that the street light density and sidewalk completeness are lower in neighborhoods with higher percentages of Blacks or Hispanics. The density of tree coverage is higher in neighborhoods with higher median household income. The second phase of this study employs four binary logistic regression models to predict the odds of walking to transit stations. The results indicate that the distance to transit stations and the availability of transit parking have significant negative impacts on the likelihood of walking to transit stations. Pedestrian amenities, such as street lights, tree shade, and sidewalk completeness increase the odds of walking to stations. Land use mixture is a positive factor for predicting walking to transit stations. The greater diversity of land uses increase the chances of walking to transit stations. In summary, for promotion of walking to transit stations, this study suggests the strategies, such as increasing sidewalk completeness, street light density, street tree density, and land use mixture. Decreasing the parking lots around stations would discourage driving to stations. Meanwhile, more public attention is necessary to improve the pedestrian facilities in the minority or poor neighborhoods. Advisors/Committee Members: Van Zandt, Shannon (advisor).

▼ The thesis shows how to achieve bipedal robotic walking on flat-ground, up-slope and rough terrain by using Human-Inspired control. We begin by considering human walking data and find outputs (or virtual constraints) that, when calculated from the human data, are described by simple functions of time (termed canonical walking functions). Formally, we construct a torque controller, through model inversion, that drives the outputs of the robot to the outputs of the human as represented by the canonical walking function; while these functions fit the human data well, they do not apriori guarantee robotic walking (due to do the physical differences between humans and robots). An optimization problem is presented that determines the best fit of the canonical walking function to the human data, while guaranteeing walking for a specific bipedal robot; in addition, constraints can be added that guarantee physically realizable walking. We consider a physical bipedal robot, AMBER, and considering the special property of the motors used in the robot, i.e., low leakage inductance, we approximate the motor model and use the formal controllers that satisfy the constraints and translate into an efficient voltage-based controller that can be directly implemented on AMBER. The end result is walking on flat-ground and up-slope which is not just human-like, but also amazingly robust. Having obtained walking on specific well defined terrains separately, rough terrain walking is achieved by dynamically changing the extended canonical walking functions (ECWF) that the robot outputs should track at every step. The state of the robot, after every non-stance foot strike, is actively sensed and the new CWF is constructed to ensure Hybrid Zero Dynamics is respected in the next step. Finally, the technique developed is tried on different terrains in simulation and in AMBER showing how the walking gait morphs depending on the terrain.

▼ Background: Older adults are one of the least active groups within the population. Despite well documented health benefits of being physically active, older adults in the main are not sufficiently active to enjoy such health benefits. Walking is the most popular form of physical activity (PA) for older adults, and is the most promising form of PA to reduce inactivity. Group based walking is also known to be popular with older adults because it offers enhanced social opportunities. Understanding why older adults start and especially continue to walk in groups is important to effectively promote walking in this age group. Paths for All (PfA) is a Scottish charity that champions walking, and was the practice partner for this thesis. Overall the three studies in this thesis aimed to identify the individual, social and environmental factors that are linked to the initiation and continuation of older adult group walking. Methods and results per study: Study one: a qualitative systematic review was conducted to identify individual, social and environmental factors linked to the initiation and continuation of older adults involved in group walking. From the 14 studies included in the qualitative systematic review, the review found that group walking is globally popular among older adults within their 60s to 80s, in groups as far afield as Asia, America and Europe. The review also identified 10 themes and 63 sub-themes. It is evident that multiple factors influence both initiation and continuation, and these are often interlinked, with shared features such as friendliness, safety and enjoyment. Both individual and social factors appear to be more influential than environmental factors during both phases. Both initiation and continuation had themes that were phase specific, but shared some themes and sub-themes such as enjoyment of walking, keeping fit, managing health conditions, self-efficacy, social support from fellow walkers plus fun and laughter. There were no shared environmental sub-themes. Further, although individual and social factors were present in both phases, the quality of these factors appears enhanced over time e.g., enhancement in self-efficacy and social connectedness. The review also identified that the factors related to the initiation and continuation of walking appear to be perceived by older adults as beneficial to physical, mental and social health. Given the importance of both individual and social factors, the subsequent studies considered each of these in detail. Study two: a quantitative study informed by self-determination theory called WE:ROAM (N = 49) was undertaken to consider motivational changes in walking between two time points. Measurement for time point one was taken during the initiation phase of walking which was from week one to 6 months inclusive. Measurement for time point two was taken during the continuation phase, from 6 months onward. There was at least six months between the collection of data from time point one and time point two. This study identified that there were no…

▼ This practice-led thesis on women, walking and art combines a critical, analytical discussion of women artists of the 1960s, 70s and early 80s with a reflective evaluation of the emergence of walking in my art practice. It was driven initially by my experience as an art practitioner and recreational hill walker, and from art literature which foregrounds historical walking practices, largely within the field of postmodern sculpture. My primary research question asks, ‘How have women artists used walking as artistic methods and processes?' This enabled me to develop a case study in which I discuss walking as an unacknowledged aspect of work by Marie Yates, Michelle Stuart and Nancy Holt, whose work is usually situated within the Conceptual art movement. In order to structure an argument for women and walking art I developed my walking skills. I adapted navigation, route-finding skills and contouring as artistic strategies, tools and processes while walking in Glen Nevis, the Dark Peak and Dartmoor in parallel with my historical research. These two aspects of the thesis came together during my retracing of Nancy Holt's footsteps where she walked on Dartmoor and saw an opportunity to make the work that became Trail Markers (1969). My experience of retracing Holt's footsteps was a significant turning point in my understanding of the reciprocal relationship between theory and practice, and how practice can become a method and process for testing art theories. My contribution to knowledge is in the formulation of a new approach to making walking art, linked to a new approach to critical enquiry, where following in an artist's footsteps may serve to illuminate the significance of walking in the work. To do the latter, I developed a walking art where I used the pragmatic elements of recreational walking, such as, meticulous route planning, advanced navigation, and other measures for walking safely on my own in remote rural landscapes. In prioritising the form of navigation that mainly uses the map's contours I adopted contouring as a metaphor and a personal synonym to describe my solitary walking away from the footpaths, and without a desire to move upwards as a goal. My research concludes that I located a process-driven method of validating walking within contemporary art practice and I argue that this can be accommodated through theoretical research and within concepts of practice as research in contemporary art.

▼ In this thesis the participation of tactile feedback from the hands in the control of balance was investigated. In Chapter 2, I characterized arm and leg reactions to unexpected perturbations delivered through the arms during walking. Perturbations applied at the hands resulted in early latency responses in arm muscles that were accompanied by activation of muscles in the leg when subjects were instructed to oppose the perturbations. Although no responses were observed in the arms when subjects were instructed to comply to the perturbations, most subjects presented responses in muscles of the leg. Activation of muscles in the legs were present during the comply condition even though the perturbations did not result in a balance disturbance. In Chapter 3, I investigated the effect of light touch sensory cues on the earliest postural reactions to balance disturbances during walking. The results of this study revealed that corrective responses in leg muscles to perturbations during walking are modulated by light touch. In particular, it was found that the effect of light touch on the corrective responses was more apparent when walking with the eyes closed compared to walking with the eyes open. Finally, in Chapters 4 and 5, I studied the effect of light touch on the gating of neural pathways transporting sensory information associated with the touch surface. The results of the study presented in Chapter 4 showed that segmental cutaneous afferent pathways are facilitated in the presence of touch if they transport sensory information from functionally relevant sensory cues (i.e. skin in contact with the surface). The results of the study presented in Chapter 5 showed that when tactile feedback associated with the touch surface is available interlimb sensorimotor pathways transporting sensory information from the skin in contact with the touch surface are facilitated. Altogether the results from this thesis revealed that sensory input from the hand can encode information describing the interaction between the body and the environment, hence plays a strong role in the control of balance.

▼ This thesis includes four projects that examine motor learning and assess novel approaches for the training and evaluation of walking. In Project 1 we study motor adaptation in children aged 8-36 months using a split-belt treadmill. Split-belt walking, in which one leg moves faster than the other, causes asymmetries in interlimb coordination. Adaptation is manifest as decreases in the asymmetries with practice, and an aftereffect (i.e., asymmetry in the opposite direction) upon the return to normal treadmill walking. Most children showed adaptation in double support time (temporal measure of interlimb coordination), but fewer showed adaptation in the spatial measures of step length and centre of oscillation. Hence, the mechanisms controlling adaptation of temporal coordination may mature before those controlling spatial coordination. In Project 2 we studied interlimb coordination and long-term training in infants aged 3-10 months. We found that most infants expressed the same type of coordination (i.e., alternate or synchronous) when kicking, a non-weight bearing movement, and when weight bearing on the treadmill. We also showed that daily practice of the non-preferred coordination in weight bearing for 1 month changed the preferred coordination for non-weight bearing movements. These findings suggest there is partial sharing of neural substrates for interlimb coordination of different leg movements in infants. In Project 3 we compared 2 methods of walking training – body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) and an over-ground method involving challenging practice of relevant walking skills (called skill training). Four individuals with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (ISCI) completed 3 months of BWSTT followed by 3 months of skill training, or vice versa. We found skill training to be as effective as BWSTT at improving walking skill, speed, endurance and confidence. In Project 4 we developed a new measure of walking for ISCI, called the Spinal Cord Injury Functional Ambulation Profile (SCI-FAP). It involves the timed performance of 7 common walking tasks. The SCI-FAP has high inter-rater and test-retest reliability, and discriminative and convergent validity. Collectively the findings of this thesis will contribute to the optimization of walking training programs for adults and children with damage to the central nervous system.

▼ To decrease auto use and encourage public transit usage, transit-oriented development has been growing in importance. However, a few existing studies have examined the travel modes to transit stations. This research addresses this gap of knowledge by examining multi-level factors, including socio-demographic factors of individuals, socioeconomic characteristics, built environment attributes, and safety factors influencing walking to transit stations in the city of Los Angeles, California. This study primarily relies on travel survey data from the Post-Census Regional Household Travel Survey conducted from 2001 to 2003 by the Southern California Association of Governments. In the first phase, this research uses bivariate linear regression models to examine the disparities of the built environment across the station areas. The results indicate that the street light density and sidewalk completeness are lower in neighborhoods with higher percentages of Blacks or Hispanics. The density of tree coverage is higher in neighborhoods with higher median household income. The second phase of this study employs four binary logistic regression models to predict the odds of walking to transit stations. The results indicate that the distance to transit stations and the availability of transit parking have significant negative impacts on the likelihood of walking to transit stations. Pedestrian amenities, such as street lights, tree shade, and sidewalk completeness increase the odds of walking to stations. Land use mixture is a positive factor for predicting walking to transit stations. The greater diversity of land uses increase the chances of walking to transit stations. In summary, for promotion of walking to transit stations, this study suggests the strategies, such as increasing sidewalk completeness, street light density, street tree density, and land use mixture. Decreasing the parking lots around stations would discourage driving to stations. Meanwhile, more public attention is necessary to improve the pedestrian facilities in the minority or poor neighborhoods.

▼ Pedestrian traffic is an important element in signalized intersection analysis. As a low-speed traffic component, pedestrians crossing the street may take up time that could be utilized by vehicles on the other street to pass through the intersection, and this causes an increase in the total delay at the intersection. Therefore, to minimize traffic delays and increase traffic efficiency, it is important to study the impact of pedestrian walking speed. This study was conducted to analyze the impacts of pedestrian speed under different lane group combinations, median widths, volumes on major and minor streets, and pedestrian pushbutton horizontal offsets. The idea originated came from the reduction of pedestrian walking speed used for calculating the pedestrian intervals. The 2003 MUTCD specified a value of 3.5 ft/sec to calculate the pedestrian clearance time and this speed was reduced to 4.0 ft/sec in the 2009 MUTCD. Moreover, a second method using 3.0 ft/sec to calculate the total pedestrian intervals was added to the 2009 MUTCD. This change is likely to influence the signal timing plan of entire intersections and further increasing the intersection total delay. The researcher used one of the most popular simulation software programs, Synchro 7, to simulate various types of intersections under different traffic circumstances and yield a series of datasets to analyze the impacts of the reduction in pedestrian walking speed. The data was analyzed both horizontally and vertically. By comparing the intersection total delay as well as the through lane group and the approach average delay, the researcher analyzed their differences mathematically as well as practically. According to the analysis results, if the cycle length of an intersection can be optimized, the change of pedestrian walking speed would not make significant impact on intersection delay; however, if under a given cycle length other than its optimum one, the intersection delay would increase significantly after the change of pedestrian walking speed in some circumstance. The extended pushbutton press function can be used to alleviate such delay increase. Advisors/Committee Members: Hawkins, H. Gene (advisor), Zhang, Yunlong (committee member), Ferris, Thomas (committee member).

▼ BACKGROUND: Breast cancer patients who engage in physical activity are shown to have a reduction in difficulties during daily living as a result of treatment side effects; however, it is unknown if participation in physical activity will reduce the limitations experienced by these individuals while participating in community activities. SUBJECTS: Female breast cancer patients, with a mean age of 51.81(SD = 7.88, range 30-64), diagnosed with stage 1 (n = 16, 21.3%), stage II (n = 37, 49.3%), stage III (n = 15, 20.0%) cancer who have completed chemotherapy (n = 63, 84.0%), are undergoing chemotherapy (n = 9, 12.0%), or have not yet started chemotherapy (n = 1, 1.3%). The majority of the participants were individuals were employed full time (n = 39, 52.0%), employed part time (n = 13, 17.3%). The majority of these women were married (n = 49) or divorced (n = 11). These women were college graduates (n = 30) or finished some graduate school (n = 20). These participants were European American (n = 34, 45.3%) and African American (n = 13, 17.3%). The BMI of these participants had a mean of 27.28 with a range from 16.30 to 44.81(SD = 5.35). Some of these individuals (n = 53) reported co-occuring medical conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and being overweight. METHOD: We recruited female breast cancer patients between the age of 18-66, with stage I, II, or III cancer, who are starting, in the process of, or have completed chemotherapy. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were selected to participate. Research assistants invited these patients to volunteer the survey study. For the current study purpose, we analyzed the association between the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale version 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0), using the Pearson product-moment correlation at the level of statistical significance at .05. The survey packages were sent to the participants through the United States Postal Service. Once the surveys were returned by mail the participants received a $10 gift card for compensation. RESULTS: A significant negative association was observed between limitations in participation in society (r = -.31, p =.004, medium effect size) and walking. Significant negative associations were also discovered between the limitations in life activities and vigorous activity (r = -.24, p = .023, small to medium effect size), along with walking (r = -.23, p = 0.25, small to medium effect size). Lastly, a significant negative association was seen between the limitations in communication and understanding and walking (r = -.20, p = .046, small to medium effect size). DISCUSSION: Engaging in physical activity decreases the limitations in understanding and communication, life activities, and participation in society an individual encounters. Vigorous activity is not required to experience reductions in community limitations. Simply engaging in light physical activity, like walking, produces results.

▼ Understanding of how walking and cycling change over time has been restricted to looking at time series data that reveals aggregate change, and time-limited longitudinal studies of individual behaviour. This thesis presents a study of the change and continuity in individual behaviour over the life course as well as inter-generational influence of, and inter-cohort similarities and differences in behavioural pathways. The behavioural trajectories of adults from two historically-separated birth cohorts, and parent-child dyads, were studied using biographical approach. Interpretive, visual biographies were produced that illustrated behavioural development through life events and transitions. Typologies were constructed to resolve common and distinct pathways in behavioural development. Behaviour change often accompanied changes in residence, employment, family structure and mobility resources. Some distinctions in trajectories were apparent along the dimensions of gender and cohort. The life-long potential for behaviour change was demonstrated by some adaptive, restorative and negative changes that occurred in later life. There was empirical suggestion that earlier cycling experiences were generative of, and influential on, later outcomes, and that some aspects of macro-level social and structural change had brought about cohort distinctions in the opportunity structure for walking and cycling over the life course. Findings were consolidated in a conceptual life course framework that proposed micro and macro-contextual influences of behaviour and addressed the temporal, gendered and inter-generational aspects of trajectory development. Emerging adulthood and, more tentatively, the work-retirement transition were periods of higher propensity for change that preceded periods of relative stability in the life course and behaviour. The findings have applications in the pursuit of measures to support life-long walking and cycling. Some recommendations for policy are made in light of indications that life course experience had distinguished some gender and cohort groups in their ability and readiness to make restorative change in behaviour.

▼ Central to this research are the interactions that take place between cyclists and pedestrians on shared-use paths and the impact of these on journey experiences. This research proposes that as active travel is promoted and as walking and cycling targets are set in the UK, there is a potential for levels of active travel to increase; putting pressure on shared-use paths, and potentially degrading journey experiences. Previous research on shared-use paths focuses on the observable aspects of shared path relations, such as visible collisions and conflict. However, this thesis suggests that it is necessary to investigate shared-path interactions in more depth, not only focusing on the visible signs of conflict but also examining the non-visible experiential interactions. Thus, this research addresses the following questions: - What are the different kinds of interactions that occur on shared-use paths? - How do path users experience and share the path? - What are the respondents’ expectations and attitudes towards the path? - What are the practice and policy options in relation to enhancing shared-path experiences? - Are video recordings a useful aid to in-depth interviews? The Bristol-Bath railway path (Bristol, UK) was chosen as a case study site and a two phased data collection strategy was implemented. Phase I included on-site intercept surveys with cyclists and pedestrians along the path. Phase II involved a novel mobile method; using video recordings of the participants’ shared-use path journeys as a discussion tool during in-depth interviews. Phase II enabled a more detailed exploration of the path users’ experiences from a personal point of view. By implementing these methods and applying a novel theoretical framework (combining mobilities and social psychology theory), this research has uncovered findings relevant to practice and theory. Exploring path user interactions revealed the types of coping strategies used by the respondents to share space. The findings also highlighted that different sensory aspects are prominent for cyclists and pedestrians. Processes associated with path-user identities and path-identity were also uncovered as important aspects of shared-path experiences. The usefulness of video mobile methods in accessing the experiential aspects of walking and cycling interactions has also been highlighted. The conclusion considers these findings and sets out recommendations including a code of conduct and an identity-influencing strategy for the path, along with ideas for future research.

▼ Walking metabolic rate prediction equations are commonly used to estimate oxygen consumption, exercise intensity and energy expenditure across a wide range of ages and anthropometrics. Despite their widespread use, independent validations of these equations using metabolic data from a large number of individuals are uncommon. PURPOSE: To assess the accuracy of the commonly used ACSM and Pandolf walking metabolic rate prediction equations, along with two new walking metabolic rate predictions equations developed by Weyand et al. and Browning et al., using data from a large number of adults. METHODS: We used demographic, anthropometric, walking speed, and oxygen consumption data from several laboratories (N = 450 (164 Males, 286 females), 18-85 years old, 16.5-44 kg/m2). We estimated oxygen consumption using each prediction equation in 1,078 walking trials ranging from 0.55-2.18 m/s, and 0.5-12% grade. Comparisons between predictive methods were made for all walking trials, as well as among normal weight participants during level and gradient walking, and overweight and obese participants during level and gradient walking. We computed the mean prediction difference (MPD) as the difference between predicted vs. measured rates of oxygen consumption (ml/kg/min) for each trial, and examined the relationship between the MPD and measured oxygen consumption (ml/kg/min) using modified Bland-Altman plots. Linear regression was used to determine the intercept (fixed bias) and slope (proportional bias) for each equation. The absolute value of the mean prediction difference, and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values were also calculated for each equation and population. RESULTS: For level walking, all prediction equations had mean prediction differences that were statistically different from zero (P ≤ 0.05) except for the Browning et al., equation when applied to normal weight individuals and the Pandolf equation when applied to overweight and obese individuals. Most importantly, all prediction equations had significant (P ≤ 0.05) fixed and proportional bias, and demonstrated large RMSE (7.8-23.5% of mean measured metabolic rate) that were similar across equations and population. In addition, prediction error increased as measured metabolic rate increased for all equations. CONCLUSION: The metabolic prediction equations evaluated here each had considerable error when compared to measured values, regardless of the population in which the equation was created and/or validated. Improvements in prediction equations may require using approaches that aim to minimize RMSE and/or developing population/intensity specific equations. Advisors/Committee Members: Browning, Raymond C.

▼

The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive analysis of metabolic costs, balance parameters and overall quality of life when subject walk on a treadmill compared with ground level walking in healthy young adults. Participants (N=22) in this study were between 20 to 35 years old and randomly assigned into Group A, which is Locomotor Treadmill Training (LTT) group ( n = 11),and Group B which is Ground Level walking (GLW) training group (n = 11). The research directional hypothesis states that there will be significant difference between LTT and GLW on mobility by means of Balance, 6 Minute Walk Test and overall quality of life. Balance was measured using the Biodex Balance System in three directions: overall stability, anterior/posterior, and medial/lateral index. The 6 Minute Walk Test was used to measure functional exercise performance and The International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ) was used to measures Self Report levels of health–related physical activity. Training sessions were 6 weeks training, 3 days per week with 1 or 2 rest days after each training day. Experimental training day started with 50 % of MHR with self-selected pace consist of a 15-20 min bout of continuous walking and was conducted on a motor-driven treadmill and on a standard 400-m track. The study found no significant difference in the effects of LTT verses GLW on mobility in healthy young adults. Future research should focus on the EMG activity differences between Treadmill Training and Ground Level walking in healthy young individuals. In conclusion, LTT and GLW Training both are effective means of interventions in healthy young adults in improving mobility. Treadmill is not to be superior to the Ground Level Walking Training and vice versa.
