ABSTRACT=• Volitionally reducing walking speed decreases cadence for all turning amplitudes in young adults • Volitionally reducing walking speed while turning decreases spatial parameters in young adults • Volitionally reducing walking speed while turning increases temporal parameters in young adults • Volitionally reducing walking speed while turning decreases spatial parameter's variability and increases temporal parameter's variability in young adults • Cadence might be a pace gait constant which is volitionally controlled to regulate the walking speed
