Human walks carefully when the ground dynamic coefficient of friction drops below 0.41

This study investigated the available and utilized friction during non-slip gait in level walking, and determined the limit which human starts to walk carefully to adapt to slippery surface. Sixteen floor-footwear-contaminant conditions with different slipperiness (dynamic coefficient of friction, D...
