The required coefficient of friction (RCOF) is frequently reported in the literature as an
indicator of slip propensity. This study aimed to further develop slip prediction models based …

The required coefficient of friction (RCOF) is an important predictor for slip incidents. Despite
the wide use of the RCOF there is no standardised method for identifying the RCOF from …

Objective: An enhanced methodology to extract the required coefficient of friction (RCOF)
value was used to investigate the effects of the transverse shear component of the ground …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between measures of floor
surface slip resistance and an individual's peak utilized coefficient of friction (COFU) on the …

This study investigated the relationship among measurements of friction, the biomechanics
of gait, and actual slip and fall events. The goal was to develop a method for estimating the …

The required coefficient of friction (RCOF) is one of the critical elements in determining
whether a slip incident might occur. Most researchers, when measuring RCOF, do not …

Falls precipitated by slipping are listed among the leading causes of injuries. The
biomechanical analysis of such events is a necessary component of the slips/falls …

Background Slipping is one of the leading causes of falls among older adults. Older adults
are considered to walk with a small anteroposterior (AP) component and a large …

This paper presents an investigation on different slip probabilities for level straight walking
obtained when comparing a given available coefficient of friction (ACOF) value with the …

This study investigated the available and utilized friction during non-slip gait in level walking,
and determined the limit which human starts to walk carefully to adapt to slippery surface …
