Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Lower extremities kinetic	Three dimensional motion data were collected using a Vicon camera system during walking.; Using motion capture system data to calculate the hip, knee internal/external rotation moment and ankle inversion/eversion moment via inverse dynamics method.	10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed, after one week, 10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed
Primary	Peak and average amplitude during stance phase	EMG data were collected using a Delsys, and Biopac EMG system during walking. Tibialis anterior/Peroneal longus/Abductor hallucis longus muscle activity were measured by electromyography (EMG).	10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed, after one week, 10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed
Primary	Lower extremities kinematic	Lower limbs alignment, including hip, knee and ankle joints. Using motion capture system data to calculate the joint angles.	10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed, after one week, 10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed
Secondary	Lower extremities kinematic	Three dimensional kinematics were collected using a Vicon camera system during walking.; Lower limbs alignment, including hip, knee and ankle joints. Using motion capture system data to calculate the joint angles.	10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed, after one week, 10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed
Secondary	Peak and average amplitude during stance phase	EMG data were collected using a Delsys, and Biopac EMG system during walking. Medial gastrocnemius/Rectus femoris/Bicep femoris muscle activity were measured by EMG.	10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed, after one week, 10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed
Secondary	Time of completed fatigue protocols	Time of completed the course will be recorded.	1 minutes after fatigue protocol completed
Secondary	Inter-joint contact force	Hip, knee ,and ankle inter-joint contact force: Anybody modeling system is used to model the inter-joint contact force	10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed, after one week, 10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed
Secondary	Lower extremities kinetic	Three dimensional motion data were collected using a Vicon camera system during walking.; Using motion capture system data to calculate the hip, knee flexion/extension, adduction/abduction moment and ankle dorsiflexion/plantarflexion, and adduction/abduction moment via inverse dynamics method.	10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed, after one week, 10 minutes before fatigue protocol start, 5 minutes after fatigue protocol completed
