Effects of Load Carriage and Footwear on Lower Extremity Kinetics and Kinematics During Overground Walking

Highlights • We compare the effects of loading and footwear on walking gait. • Loading increases vertical and anteroposterior ground reaction forces. • Walking barefoot decreases anteroposterior, but not vertical, ground reaction forces. • Loading increases ankle, knee, and hip joint moments and pow...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We compare the effects of loading and footwear on walking gait. • Loading increases vertical and anteroposterior ground reaction forces. • Walking barefoot decreases anteroposterior, but not vertical, ground reaction forces. • Loading increases ankle, knee, and hip joint moments and powers. • Walking barefoot increases knee and hip joint moments and powers.
