Tokyo, Nov. 13 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000063531) titled 'A Study on the Effects of Frictional Moments on Gait Stability under Controlled Friction within the Plantar Contact Area' on Nov. 13.

Study Type: Observational

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Tohoku University

Condition: Condition - Healthy young adults Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - 1. To determine how different floor friction conditions affect the frictional moment (free moment: FM) generated within the plantar contact area during walking. 2. To determine how differences in shoe sole contact geometry affect the magnitude of FM and foot rotational motion. 3. To clarify the relationships between FM and joint angles, joint moments, and whole-body angular momentum (WBAM), and to examine whether FM can serve as an indicator of rotational constraints at the foot-ground interface. Basic objectives2 - Others

(4) Individuals who can safely and independently perform straight-line walking both overground and on a treadmill. (5) Individuals who can understand the study procedures and follow the experimenter's instructions. (6) Individuals deemed suitable for participation by the principal investigator or a co-investigator. Key exclusion criteria - (1) Individuals with neurological, musculoskeletal, or other conditions that affect walking. (2) Individuals with pain or injuries that affect walking. (3) Individuals for whom walking tests are difficult to perform due to severe cardiovascular disease or other serious medical conditions. (4) Individuals otherwise deemed unsuitable for participation by the principal investigator or other study investigators. Target Size - 30
