Abstract

The amount of energy absorbed in the heel of two kinds of shoes during walking was measured. One type of the shoes was sport shoes and another was leather shoes. A subject wore braces on both feet under which wooden feet were attached firmly. The shoes were put on the wooden feet while he was walking in a gait lab. The joint moment and other kinetic parameters were calculated and the power flow from the shank to the feet was calculated from these parameters. By subtracting the time deviation of the mechanical energy of the feet from the power, we could estimate the amount of energy absorbed in the shoes. The value for the sports shoes was approximately 10 Joule per a step when the subject walked with cadence 60-126.
