This paper models minimum foot clearance (MFC) data during steady-state gait to
investigate how the various descriptive statistics of the MFC distribution differ in healthy …

Minimum foot clearance (MFC) is the minimum vertical distance between the lowest point of
the foot of the swing leg and the walking surface during the swing phase of the gait cycle …

Falls during walking are a major cause of injury and death in the elderly. From a falls
perspective, a critical gait event is minimum toe clearance (MTC), as failure to achieve foot …

Background Trip-related falls which is a major problem in the elderly population, might be
linked to declines in the balance control function due to ageing. Minimum foot clearance …

Current research applying variability measures of gait parameters has demonstrated
promise for helping to solve one of the “holy grails” of geriatric research by defining markers …

Toe speed during gait generally nears its maximum while its height reaches a local minima
approximately halfway through swing phase. Trips are thought to frequently occur at these …

BACKGROUND: Foot-ground clearance during the gait cycle swing phase is a critical
locomotor adaptation to uneven terrain and non-optimal lower limb control has been linked …

Background Decreased gait speed and increased stride time, stride length, double support
time, and stance time variability have consistently been associated with falling whereas step …

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 …

Temporal parameters of the gait cycle and foot roll over in 105 healthy adults (75 women
and 30 men aged 16 to 63 years) were collected using foot switches. The subjects walked …
