โฆ Synopsis
Kinematics and electromyographic (EMG) activity were recorded in seven normal women during walking at slow, free, and fast speeds. Speedrelated differences were found in the stride dimensions, temporal components, and most of the simultaneous displacement patterns of body segments measured. For most of the muscles tested, the amplitude of normalized EMG activity decreased as walking speed decreased. The findings emphasize the importance of accounting for the effect of speed itself on measurements of gait.
