Abstract
This study investigated the lower extremity preventive measures for slips on simulated slippery surfaces in construction worksites. A total of 15 harnessed Chinese males walked without slips on a 5-m walkway in 16 simulated conditions 10 times at their natural cadence. Joint moments were calculated from kinetics, kinematics and anthropometric data recorded from a force plate, a Novel Pedar system and a motion analysis system. Data were evaluated from footstrike to mid-stance at 10%-stance intervals. Electromyography signals from tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, rectus femoris and biceps femoris in one stride were evaluated in four phases, including early/late stance and swing. Results showed that lower extremity preventive measures for slips included prolonged ankle plantar flexion moments from 25% to 92% stance, increased ankle plantar flexion moments from 30% stance to mid-stance, and diminished knee extension moments from 10% to 30% stance. Higher activity of rectus femoris and gastrocnemius were found in the late stance and the swing phase respectively.
