Center of mass motion and the effects of ankle bracing on metabolic cost during submaximal walking trials

Center of mass motion and the effects of ankle bracing on metabolic cost during submaximal walking trials

The goal of this research was to examine the relationship between center of mass (CoM) motion and metabolic cost and to assess secondarily the effects of equinus gait on metabolic cost during walking trials at various velocities. Twelve (n = 12) healthy male adults walked in four brace conditions, i...

Zusammenfassung:The goal of this research was to examine the relationship between center of mass (CoM) motion and metabolic cost and to assess secondarily the effects of equinus gait on metabolic cost during walking trials at various velocities. Twelve (n = 12) healthy male adults walked in four brace conditions, including fixed equinus, at three different walking speeds. Metabolic measures and 3D kinematic data were collected during each trial. Significant main effects for velocity were observed on both dependent measures, net O2 cost (p
