Analysis of Physical Workloads and Muscular Strain in Lower Extremities During Walking “Sideways” and “Mixed” Walking in Different Directions in Simulated U-Shape in the Lab
The muscular strain at the lower extremities was analysed in the IAD-lab using the simulated U-shape with short-cycle tasks (approx. 80 s.) with walking “sideways” and “mixed” walking (sidesteps and normal st...
