Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether walking on a treadm ill is a valid simulator of overground walking with respect to rearfoo t motion. The tibial, calcaneal, and rearfoot motions of 10 subjects ( 2 males, 8 females) were videotaped white they walked on a treadmill a nd overground. The results of a series of t-tests showed that there wa s no statistically significant difference between the two conditions o n any of the variables measured.
