Effects of flooring on ground reaction forces and required coefficient of friction : elderly adult vs . middle-aged adult barefoot gait ”
2015
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of flooring on barefoot gait according to age and gender. Two groups of healthy subjects were analyzed: the elderly adult group (EA; 10 healthy subjects) and the middl e-aged group (MA; 10 healthy subjects). Each participant was asked to walk at hi s or her preferred speed over two force plates on the following surfaces: 1) homogeneous vi nyl (HOV), 2) carpet, 3) heterogeneous vinyl (HTV) and 4) mixed (in which th e first half of the pathway was covered by HOV and the second by HTV). Two force pl ates (Kistler 9286BA) embedded in the data collection room floor measured the grou nd reaction forces and friction. The required coefficient of friction (RCOF) was analyze d. For the statistical analysis, a linear mixed-effects model for repeated measures was perfo rmed. During barefoot gait, there were differences in the RCOF among the flooring typ es during the heel contact and toeoff phases. Due to better plantar proprioception du ring ...
