A Comparison Of Treadmill And Overground Walking

The treadmill is frequently used in locomotion research as is offers a controlled and convenient environment for testing and training in walking and running. The results of other studies demonstrate that the kinematics of human walking differ in treadmill and overground ambulation on cadence, length and stance phase and so on.in this study to compare treadmill and overground ambulation for possible differences in dynamics. The dynamics data of treadmill and overground ambulation is obtained by Footscan Insole pressure system.so the main purpose is to deeply understand reation between treadmill and overground ambulation.The main conclusion from research:First, the difference is larger between the two sides of individuals'bodies on the treadmill than on the ground.Second, the difference of two sides of individuals'bodies is reduced in Most tremendous pressure and stance phase.Third, heel earlier finish standing for forefoot earlier stand so ankle can join the movement earlier and stance phase of forefoot can increase.Forth, walking on the treadmill does not more nature and more firm than overground.
