Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lower extremity muscle activity on the increase of cardiopulmonary metabolic cost during inclined treadmill gait in the elderly.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lower extremity muscle activity on the increase of cardiopulmonary metabolic cost during inclined treadmill gait in the elderly. Metabolic energy expenditure and muscle activity are measured simultaneously.

Conditions

• Gait

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Inclined treadmill gait	All subjects underwent measurements of muscle activity and respiratory metabolism energy during treadmill walking at a comfortable speed for 5 minutes and measured by three conditions (#0% inclined treadmill gait, #10% inclined treadmill gait, and #16% inclined treadmill gait)
