The effect of shoe sole stiffness on 3D foot pressure and gait initiation patterns during prolonged standing, towards the investigation of lower-limb muscle fatigue
Shoes considerably influence human's comfort and muscle fatigue during long-term standing activities. By combining several state-of-the-art technologies, this project aims to investigate the temporal variations of 3D foot pressure and gait initiation patterns during prolonged standing with wearing shoes with two different stiffness.
We are looking for a Master student to join us for this interesting study, as her/his Master (thesis) project. The candidate will have a great chance to assess several unique technologies within this project, as well as perform onsite biomechanical tests.
Eligibility:
1) Self-motivated
2) Excellent English ability, both in speaking and writing
3) Good time management skills
4) Matlab/python knowledges/skills
5) Previous experience with sensor will be a plus but not necessary, previous experience with EMG will be a strong plus
