Abstract
Soldiers and firefighters have a hazardous job profile. They have worn heavy clothing that reduces body’s natural movability. In these circumstances, our objectives are to explore the effect of three layers light-weight clothing system: on kinetic/kinematic changes during different maneuverability, six gait phases, and on different body joints. We assessed four different exerted forces, six gait phases, and joint angles of five body movements amongst 63 trials of Indian soldiers by standardized protocol of Ergomaster 4.6 software. No significant changes were observed except in sitting position and shearing force of gait pattern. Hence, it allows for natural biomechanics and gait pattern.
