Abstract
The 'nanba' walking style is assumed to be useful for training method in such as welfare engineering. However, the effects have not been known clearly from biomechanical point of view. The purpose of this study was to quantify the difference of the joint moments between the 'normal' and 'nanba' walking. A motion capture system, a treadmill, and two wearable force plates were used to measure the walking, and a three-dimensional musculoskeletal model was used to calculate the joint moment. We have made contrasts for the peak values of the lower limb's joint moments in the breaking phase and the propulsive phase.
