Optimal walking in terms of variability in step length.
The optimal condition in speed, step rate, and step length of human walking has been reported in terms of temporal consistency, energy cost, and attentional demand. No study, however, has been conducted on the optimal condition in terms of spatial variability of walking. This study examined whether there is an optimal walking speed with minimum intrasubject variability in step length and step w...
متن کاملEffect of Step Length and Step Period on Walking Speed and Energy Consumption: a Parameter Study
Stability and performance are two main issues in motion of bipeds. To ensure stability of motion, a biped needs to follow specific pattern to comply with a stability criterion such as zero moment point. However, there are infinity many patterns of motion which ensure stability, so one might think of achieving better performance by choosing proper parameters of motion. Step length and step perio...
متن کاملThe effects of the length of rain boots on balance during treadmill walking
[Purpose] Effects of muscle fatigue on lower-extremity balance were evaluated in 12 healthy young women in their 20s while they walked on a treadmill wearing rain boots of different lengths. [Methods] The rain boots were divided into three groups based on the shaft length (Long, Middle, Short). Romberg's test was applied and limits of stability were measured before and after treadmill walking. ...
متن کاملEffect of rain boot shaft length on lower extremity muscle activity during treadmill walking
[Purpose] This study aimed to determine the extent of lower extremity muscle activity before and after walking based on rain boot shaft length. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects, 12 young and healthy females, were divided into three groups based on rain boot shaft length (long, middle, and short). They walked on a treadmill for 30 minutes. Activity of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, sem...
متن کاملUsing Positional Heel-marker Data to More Accurately Calculate Stride Length for Treadmill Walking: A Step Length Approach
Treadmill walking is a convenient tool for studying the human gait; however, a common gait parameter, stride length, can be difficult to calculate directly because relevant reference points continually move backwards. Although there is no direct calculation of stride length itself, we can use positional heel-marker data to directly determine a similar parameter, step length, and we can sum two ...
