1. A method for the automatic control of locomotion speed in a human or other animal subject, the method comprising:

  • estimating the subject'"'"'s actual locomotion speed using one or more sensors to thereby obtain a measured speed;

    determining an error comprising a difference between a desired speed and the measured speed; and

    outputting, to the subject, a stimulus frequency signal wherein the stimulus frequency signal is based on the error in such a manner that when the subject ambulates in a manner that matches a frequency of the stimulus frequency signal, the subject'"'"'s actual speed controllably tracks the desired speed.
