Spatiotemporal Parameters of Uphill, Level and Downhill Walking Are Similar between Treadmill and Overground Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Treadmill walking gait analyses are frequently conducted due to their ease of collecting multiple strides of data, minimal space required and ability to finely control speed. The question of whether treadmill (TM) walking gait replicates overground (OG) walking gait on a level surface, has been extensively studied. From a spatiotemporal perspective, TM walking on a level surface generally simulates OG walking [2,5].

Spatiotemporal Parameters are not Substantially Influenced by Load Carriage or Inclination During Treadmill and Overground Walking
Influences of load carriage and inclination on spatiotemporal parameters were examined during treadmill and overground walking. Ten soldiers walked on a treadmill and overground with three load conditions (00 kg, 20 kg, 40 kg) during level, uphill (6% grade) and downhill (-6% grade) inclinations at self-selected speed, which was constant across conditions. Mean values and standard deviations fo...
متن کاملMechanical energy fluctuations during hill walking: the effects of slope on inverted pendulum exchange.
Humans and other animals exchange gravitational potential energy (GPE) and kinetic energy (KE) of the center of mass during level walking. How effective is this energy exchange during downhill and uphill walking? Based on previous reports and our own reasoning, we expected that during downhill walking, the possibility for mechanical energy exchange would be enhanced and during uphill walking, t...
متن کاملExertion during uphill, level and downhill walking with and without hiking poles.
This study examined the effects of poles when walking on the rate of perceived exertion (RPE), physiological and kinematics parameters, and upon the mean ratio between locomotor and respiratory rhythms. Twelve healthy male and female volunteers, aged 22 to 49 years old, completed on a motorized treadmill in a counterbalanced randomized order 12 walking trials for 10 min at an individually prefe...
متن کاملEnergy cost and kinematics of level, uphill and downhill running: fatigue-induced changes after a mountain ultramarathon.
This study aimed to determine whether the fatigue induced by a mountain ultramarathon (MUM) led to changes in energy cost and kinematic during level and graded running. Pre- and post-race, 14 ultratrail runners ran on a level, uphill (5%) and downhill (5%) treadmill at 10 km · h(-1). Kinematic data were acquired using a photocell system. Post-race, the downhill energy cost increased by 13.1% (P...
متن کاملPendular energy transduction within the step during human walking on slopes at different speeds
When ascending (descending) a slope, positive (negative) work must be performed to overcome changes in gravitational potential energy at the center of body mass (COM). This modifies the pendulum-like behavior of walking. The aim of this study is to analyze how energy exchange and mechanical work done vary within a step across slopes and speeds. Ten subjects walked on an instrumented treadmill a...
