Abstract des Autors
A fundamental understanding of the biomechanics of normal walking and running is important for understanding the mechanisms of walking and running injuries. Biomechanical variables, such as temporal and stride parameters, muscle activation levels, and joint kinematics and kinetics collected using computerized gait analysis techniques provide information abbout the mechanisms behind walking and running. A comparison of these parameters collected during walking and running demonstrates the much increased demands on the body in terms of muscle activation levels, joint range of motion, and joint forces during running as compared with walking.
