  The stride interval time series in normal human gait is not strictly
constant, but fluctuates from step to step in a complex manner. More precisely,
it has been shown that the control process for human gait is a fractal random
phenomenon, that is, one with a long-term memory. Herein we study the Holder
exponent spectra for the slow, normal and fast gaits of 10 young healthy men in
both free and metronomically triggered conditions and establish that the stride
interval time series is more complex than a monofractal phenomenon. A slightly
multifractal and non-stationary time series under the three different gait
conditions emerges.
