“…Therefore, the GSI metrics are not dependent on subjects' preferred walking speed. A second limitation of the current study is that a treadmill was used to collect the walking data, and individuals can demonstrate altered muscle activation when walking on a treadmill [43,44]. However, previous work has also shown that kinematics and kinetics of treadmill gait is largely similar to that of overground walking [45,46].…”

“…However, some studies also have been showed no significant difference (or increase) in the amount of muscle activity between the treadmill in comparison to other surfaces (7,2,19,13). For example, Arsenault et al (1986) showed that the activities amount of soleus, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, vastus medialis and tibialis anterior increased while walking on the treadmill in comparison with walking overground (2).…”

“…Furthermore, Di Nardo et al (2014) observed no significant difference in the tibialis anterior muscle activity between the treadmill and overground walking conditions, but activity of gastrocnemius was higher on the treadmill condition (7). Kalantari et al (2015) similarly showed that walking at different speeds on the treadmill increased the activation amount of gastrocnemius, biceps femoris, half tendinous, vastus medialis and vastus lateralis and medius gluteus muscles compared to the overground (13). On the one hand, these contradictions indicate the need for further research.…”

“…Overground and treadmill running are two popular modes that used in scientific investigations, physical therapy practice and physical training raises issues on differences in running patterns on a treadmill and on overground surfaces (1,13,12,23). Previous studies have been shown that different biomechanical changes are created in the user, while running on different surfaces (9,15,14,24,21,19) .The running's surface has been defined as the fundamental aspects in designing the exercises that should be considered (9,24).…”

The aim of present study was to compare electromyography activity of selected leg-dominant lower limb muscles during stance phase of running on treadmill and overground. Fourteen male students ran at 3.3 m/s in both treadmill and overground conditions. Electromyography activity of some selected lower limb muscle was recorded during initial 50% and terminal 50% of stance phase. Paired t-test was employed for data analyses. The results showed a significant difference in total activity of selected lower limb muscles between treadmill and overground running conditions (P<0.05). Rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and biceps femoris activation during overground running were found significantly higher than running on the treadmill in initial 50% stance phase (P<0.05). No significant electromyography change was observed for selected muscles during terminal 50% of stance phase in both treadmill and overground conditions (P>0.05). It was concluded that treadmills running condition may be possibly useful in designing specific training programs that are aimed to control or reduce lower extremity muscles activity. According to the results of this study, treadmills running condition caused lower muscle activity consequently, may increase biomechanical efficiency or used in clinical setting.

“…In order to function sufficiently by walking in a variety of environments, the speed of walking should be between 1.1 and 1.5 m/s. Only about 7% of patients who have been discharged from rehabilitation therapy satisfy these social walking standards (10). Thus, achieving normal walking patterns and speeds is the ultimate goal of walking training for stroke survivors.…”

Background.There have been many studies on partial weight support walking training. However, most studies have been performed in treadmill settings, not in actual walking environments. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of partial weight support ground walking training on the temporal and spatial gait parameters of chronic stroke patients. Methods. This study was designed as a single-blinded randomized controlled trial. The experimental group applied only 70% of its weight using partial weight support equipment. The experimental group underwent the 30 m ground track for 12 minutes, rested for 3 minutes, and then repeated twice in the same way to apply a total of 30 minutes of partial weight-supported ground walking training. In order to measure the temporal and spatial parameters of gait for walking training in stroke patients, a pre-and post-test was performed using GAIT RITE. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to compare gait variables. Results. There was a significant improvement in walking speed in the experimental group compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference between cadence and cycle time (P < 0.05).Step length, stride length, and swing rate were significantly improved in the experimental group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion. Partial weight support walking training positively affects gait in chronic stroke patients. Thus, it is thought that partial weight support gait training can be used as an effective intervention method to improve gait in chronic stroke patients.
