The Relationship Between Increasing Loading and Kinematic Parameters

Are There Correlations Between Increasing Loading and Kinematic Parameters of Normal People?

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of increasing loading to kinematic parameters of normal people while walking on the treadmill.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. 20< age < 30.
2. Body mass index < 30.
3. No history of major injury or surgery in lower limbs.
4. No symptoms of lower limbs.
5. Physical examination to test the lower limbs to be normal.
6. The habit of moderate exercise (e.g. Jogging) at least once a week for at least 30 minutes.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Body mass index >30.
2. Injury or surgery in hip/knee/ankle.
3. History trauma in the lower limbs (e.g. fracture).
4. Neuropathic disease.
5. Muscular disease.
6. Lack ability to finish the procedure physically or mentally.
7. Easy to fall.
8. Any other conditions that can influence gait parameters of the lower limbs.
