Abstract: A new flooring system has been developed to reduce peak impact forces to the hips when humans fall. The new safety floor is designed to remain relatively rigid under normal walking conditions, ...

Abstract: The goal of this study was to develop and validate a finite element model (FEM) for use in the design of a flooring system that would provide a stable walking surface during normal locomotion ...

Abstract: This study quantified the relationships between local dynamic stability and variability during continuous overground and treadmill walking. Stride-to-stride standard deviations were computed from ...
