Abstract
This study investigated the changes of temporal parameters and the support moments caused when local vibration stimulation was applied to the walking of the elderly. For this, 180 Hz vibration was applied to the Achilles tendon during walking. The intensity of applied vibration is two kinds of intensity of perceptual threshold and perceptual sub threshold. Three dimensional motion analysis was performed to investigate the temporal parameters and the support moments. When a vibration stimulus is applied, stride length, cadence and Gait velocity were decreased, and the support moments were increased from terminal stance. These results imply that local vibratory stimulation can lead to changes in the gait of the elderly.
