Comparison of gait properties during level walking and stair ascent and descent with varying loads
This study aimed to compare gait properties during level walking and during stair ascent and descent with varying loads. Fifteen healthy young men (mean age: 22.1 ± 1.6 years) walked while holding four different loads relative to each subject’s body mass (0, 20, 40 and 60% of body mass: BM) on their backs. Stance time, swing time, and double support times were selected as gait parameters. All p...
متن کاملStair ascent and descent at different inclinations.
The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanics and motor co-ordination in humans during stair climbing at different inclinations. Ten normal subjects ascended and descended a five-step staircase at three different inclinations (24 degrees, 30 degrees, 42 degrees ). Three steps were instrumented with force sensors and provided 6 dof ground reactions. Kinematics was analysed by a camer...
متن کاملWhole-body angular momentum during stair ascent and descent.
The generation of whole-body angular momentum is essential in many locomotor tasks and must be regulated in order to maintain dynamic balance. However, angular momentum has not been investigated during stair walking, which is an activity that presents a biomechanical challenge for balance-impaired populations. We investigated three-dimensional whole-body angular momentum during stair ascent and...
متن کاملRegional plantar pressure during walking, stair ascent and descent.
Regional plantar pressures during stair walking may be injurious in at risk populations. However, limited data are available examining the reliability of plantar pressure data collected during stair walking. The aims of this study were three fold; to assess the reliability of the plantar pressure data recorded during stair walking, to assess the effects of level ground and stair walking on plan...
متن کاملBiomechanical analysis of body mass transfer during stair ascent and descent of healthy subjects.
The purposes of this study were to: 1) assess whole body center of mass (CM) motion in the frontal, sagittal, and transverse planes; 2) compare CM displacement with center of pressure (CP); and, 3) further define the stance and swing subphases of stair ascent (SA) and stair descent (SD) based on critical CM, CP, and ground reaction force (GRF) events. SA and SD were analyzed on a convenience sa...
