Study on Plantar Pressure of Male Adults during Walking with Single-Shoulder Weight

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate plantar pressure of male adults under different sing-shoulder weight during walking. Experiments were conducted at single-shoulder load styles in four different weight conditions by three-dimension force platform system. Four weight conditions were 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of body weight. Seven characteristic parameters were selected and analyzed by statistical methods. The results showed a significant difference for the male subjects at 13% of body weight loads comparing with natural walk. Ground reaction force was employed to analyze human movement. This study was designed to obtain the data of foot pressure, which was important to the balance of control of biped robot.
