Effects of lower limb fatigue on stair gait

Lower limb fatigue has been closely related to the stability of the gait movement. The additional of load carriage to the gait movement can worsen the overall stability which can lead to fall when performing stair negotiation. Hence, there is a need to conduct the experiment to analysis on the lower...

Hence, there is a need to conduct the experiment to analysis on the lower limb kinematic and Center of Mass when lower limb fatigue and load carriage is applied at the same time while performing stair negotiation. 12 participants are required to performed stair negotiation on lower limb fatigue and no fatigue with 3 type of load (no load, low load and high) with an interval of 3 day.
