The Influence of External Additional Loading on the Muscle Activity and Ground Reaction Forces during Gait Table 1 Statistical relationships between thermal and force parameters for three muscle groups:
trapezius (TT),
latissimus dorsi (TL), and
obliquus abdominis (TO), and three ground reaction force values: maximal weight acceptance force (WA), maximal force in midstance (MS), and maximal force in push-off gait phase (PO), for the left and right leg, respectively. Significant relations (
or
for Spearman’s test) are written in bold.
