What are the main differences in standing and walking regarding the inverted pendulum model?
- -correct ans- -1: forward velocity --> the COM velocity is added to the COM position. 2: Base of support --> the base of support is changed during walking. The movement of the pendulum will be dependent on the margin of stability, being the difference between the base of support boundaries and the XCOM.

What are mechanical mechanisms of balance control to regain balance? (4) - -correct ans- - Widening step (base of support), grasping method (base of support), counter rotation of upper/lower body (COM direction/velocity) and hip strategy (COM direction/velocity).
