During test of cycle_gate, we ask people to walk, then they pay attention to it and their way of walking is changed, also darkness can change it too.
but that is question, whether mental illness such as depression change the cycle_gate?that could help us to find therapies for these diseases.
Dear Professor.Chockalingam and sara.
I am interested in this area too. I really like to search for mental and physical health relationships and the interaction between them.
at the moment I am doing my first research on the effect of time of day and cognitive dual task on the biomechanics of gait and dynamic balance in elderly.
but there are plenty of research showing the clear effect of mental load on gait biomechanics.
Here you can find two of them:
"Does the diurnal cycle of cortisol explain
The relationship between physical
performance and cognitive function in
older adults?"
and
"Gait Is Associated with Cognitive
Flexibility: A Dual-Tasking Study in
Healthy Older People"
Best regards

From previous work on gait analysis in subjects with depression as a factor among other abnormalities we can say, all stress factors will affect on some parts of gait cycle. It is will known that gait cycle is more stable when subjects walk with confidence, steps will be more assured, and closer to normal timing.
