| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We analyzed lower-limb motion following a slip and fall stimulus produced using a pulled free-walking system consisting of a controllable split-belt treadmill, where a speed difference between the belts could be applied to produce a slipping motion. In three male participants, we established slip motion by applying acceleration in the sagittal plane direction of the right leg immediately upon contact with the treadmill. Each participant demonstrated a different recovery method from falling. In the future, the authors will conduct this experiment not only for young healthy people but also for the elderly and verify if a similar trend can be observed.
