Effects of additional load at different heights on gait initiation: A statistical parametric mapping of center of pressure and center of mass behavior
Fig 8
(A) Hotelling’s paired T-square test on the center of pressure (COP) displacement vector comparing the weight positioned at the waist with the weight positioned at the shoulder. Post hoc scalar t-tests on (B) medial-lateral (ML) COP and (C) anterior-posterior (AP) COP components. WUD and SUD: weight uniformly distributed at the waist and shoulder, respectively; WST and SST: weight positioned at the waist and shoulder, respectively, on the stance foot side; WSW and SSW: weight positioned at the waist and shoulder, respectively, on the swing foot side.
