Experimental Analyses of Load Carrying Effects on the Peak Traction Coefficient between Shoe Sole and Floor during Walking

This paper presents the effect of load carrying (position and weight of load) on the maximum peak values of traction coefficient between shoe sole and floor during walking on level walkway. Gait experiments were conducted by five healthy male adult participants walking on the force plates with carry...

Each subject was tested at step length of 0.75 m and at walking speed of 1.4 m/s.
