On the simple calculation of walking efficiency without kinematic information for its convenient use

Abstract Background Since walking is a daily activity not to require the maximal effort in healthy populations, a very few universal bio-parameters and/or methods have been defined to evaluate individual walking characteristics in those populations. A concept of “economy” is a potential candidate; h...
