Peak vertical ground force of hand-knee crawling in human adults
2023©by the Society of Physical Therapy Science. Published by IPEC Inc..
[Purpose] Fall risk is immanent in humans because they are bipedal. Bipedalism has transited from quadrupedalism in both evolutional and developmental contexts. Past studies have measured the peak vertical ground force of forelimbs and hindlimbs in quadrupedalism; and revealed that load dominancy shifted from forelimbs to hindlimbs during evolution. The dominance of hindlimb peak vertical ground force allows forelimb freedom and is considered important for locomotor evolution toward bipedalism. With this consideration, we hypothesize that hindlimb peak vertical ground force is dominant in human adults when they designedly crawl in a quadrupedal manner. [Participants and Methods] Six healthy human adults crawled on their hands and knees over a pressure platform. We calculated the peak vertical ground force of their hands and knees by integrating the pressure of the contact area of each limb. [Results] The mean knee peak vertical ground force at 0.694 (per body weight) was significantly higher than that of the hand at 0.372 (per body weight). The mean hand/knee peak vertical ground force ratio was 0.536; therefore, it was -0.624 on the natural logarithmic scale. [Conclusions] Our findings on human adults are compatible with existing considerations on locomotor evolution toward bipedalism. Our findings contribute to the comprehensive understanding of human locomotion.
