Treadmill-to-Overground Mapping of Marker Trajectory for Treadmill-Based Continuous Gait Analysis

Clinical gait analysis : Treadmill - based vs overground

Modular Control of Treadmill vs Overground Running

Motorized treadmills have been widely used in locomotion studies, although a debate remains concerning the extrapolation of results obtained from treadmill experiments to overground locomotion. Slight differences between treadmill (TRD) and overground running (OVG) kinematics and muscle activity have previously been reported. However, little is known about differences in the modular control of ...

Validation of a Kinematic Protocol for the Determination of Gait Events During Overground and Treadmill Running

Introduction The accurate division of the gait cycle into its component stance and swing phases is important in gait analysis. Use of force platforms to indicate when the foot is in contact with the ground is the 'gold standard' method of determining foot strike (FS) and toe off (TO). However force platforms may not be available, particularly during treadmill locomotion. Methods of determining ...

Two simple methods for determining gait events during treadmill and overground walking using kinematic data.

The determination of gait events such as heel strike and toe-off provide the basis for defining stance and swing phases of gait cycles. Two algorithms for determining event times for treadmill and overground walking based solely on kinematic data are presented. Kinematic data from treadmill walking trials lasting 20-45s were collected from three subject populations (healthy young, n=7; multiple...

Psychophysiological responses to self-paced treadmill and overground exercise.

UNLABELLED Speculation exists that a positive affective response experienced during exercise may play an important role in predicting exercise adherence. Previous studies using self-paced exercise protocols have been associated with health benefits and pleasant experiences. However, all of these studies were conducted in laboratories, and consequently, the external validity of the findings may ...
