Abstract
People use stairs in daily life and it is suggested that the compression force of the knee joints during downhill walking of stairs is twice than that of level walking. Nordic Walking (NW) would have potential to reduce the load of lower limb joint in the stairs, because NW uses the poles during walking and may distribute the part of their own weight to the poles. However there are few studies focused on the lower limb joint loads for NW in the up and down stairs. The purpose of this study was to compare the load of lower limb joints (hip, knee and ankle joints) for NW to ordinary walking (OW) in the up and down stairs.
