Abstract
Background: The purpose of present study is to effect of arm swing on uphill road gait in healthy adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: This study was Participated in 15 healthy subjects. The subjects were allowed to walk uphill, about 10m from the line drawn on the floor. The subject stood at the starting line and started by pressing the start button with the signal "start", and I pressed Stop at the last incoming point. Walking with and without arm swing was measured twice in random draws. Results: Walking path with arm swing showed good results in walking path duration, cadence, speed, stride length, and Gait cycle duration rather than uphill walk without arm swing. Conclusion: As a results of this study, The arm swing is important in getting uphill.
