Subject stepping repeatedly forwards and backwards (at the same frequency) between two AMTI force plates. Then stepping forwards and backwards at a faster frequency. Sampled at 250 Hz.
Shear forces in forward-backward stepping
Subject stepping repeatedly forwards and backwards (at the same frequency)
between two AMTI force plates. Then stepping forwards and backwards at
a faster frequency. Sampled at 250 Hz.
• Why is the AP shear force larger during the backward step?
• Why is the AP shear force larger during the forward step (i.e. the reverse
of the above) when the subject steps at a faster frequency?
