Abstract:Background: Assessment of walking with shoes is important for understanding different types of walking in various environments. Methods: In this study, a shoe-type sensor was used to demonstrate the shoe–floor angle in fifteen participants who walked on a treadmill under varying gait speed and sole adjustments, lifting one side of the sole. The shoe–floor angle in the sagittal; the angle of toe-up (θTup) and toe-down (θTdown) and frontal planes; and the angle of pronation (θPro) and supination (θSup) were calc… Show more
