Footwear has a modifying effect on tibial loading during military weight carriage
摘要
This study investigated how different footwear conditions influence tibial loading across incremental load carriage during walking. Ten military-trained male participants completed walking trials under three weight conditions (0, 15, and 30 kg) and three footwear conditions (barefoot, trainers, and military boots) at 1.67 m/s. Kinematic (120 Hz) and kinetic (1200 Hz) data were collected using motion capture and force plates. Tibial loading was estimated via musculoskeletal modeling and beam theory, focusing on peak tibial bending moments and cumulative-weighted tibial impulse. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA (
