Abstract

|
80 persons who don’t have past history of cardiopulmonary and neuromuscular disease. The results were as follow; 1. PCI(Physiological Cost Index) value without loading to ankle were significantly increased compared to 1kg, and 2kg (p<0.01). 2. Female Subjects showed more increased PCI value in without loading and lkg, 2kg loading compared to male subjects (p<0.01). 3. In every PCI condition the difference among height groups was observed (p<0.01). 4. The difference among weight groups in each PCI condition was observed (p<0.01). These results showed that energy consumption was increased according to loading on the ankle during gait so weight of orthosis or prosthesis must be considered when choosing them and during gait training with these ones.
