Muscle Activation of Soleus and Tibialis Anterior according to Landing Strategy of Initial Contact during Descending Stairs: Comparison of Forefoot and Whole Foot
Abstract:To control the rate at which body weight drops, forefoot initiates floor contact with the limb relatively extended at each joint. However, when the knee joints could not extend enough with going down the stairs, the forefoot cannot be contact initially. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between forefoot and whole foot in initial contract on soleus and tibialis anterior for health young adults when descending stairs. Design: A cross-sectional observational study design. Methods: Fifte… Show more
