In this paper, we examine different types of environmental interactions that affect walking movement. We firstly investigate the general behavioral pattern of locomotion that is shared with other progressive activities that require spatiotemporal awareness. Then, we focus on music as an exciter of changes in walk behavior, namely the synchronization of walking tempo to the music and spatialization of the music in walking style. The third part involves reactionary forces which are already studied through their role in certain phases of gait, but requires more in-depth analyses of their cumulative effects that may cause forward feedback between the walking person and the environmental structure. Finally, we discuss the psychological effects of anxiety that encourage increased muscular stiffness to control balance.
