[Purpose] Many studies have compared over-ground and treadmill walking, but the biomechanical relationship between the two gait modes is unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze differences in pelvic range of motion and lower limb muscles activity during over-ground and treadmill walking in healthy adults. Moreover, we aimed to analyze differences according to gender. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-three healthy adults (9 men, 14 women) between 25 and 35 years of age walked at the identical speed for 30 seconds each in two difference gait modes. The pelvic range of motion were obtained by using three-axis accelerometer and lower limb muscle activation data were obtained by using wireless surface EMG. [Results] The results showed that pelvic obliquity showed a greater angular range of women than men, and the pelvic rotation decreased more in treadmill walking than over-ground walking. In the muscles activity, vastus lateralis and tibialis anterior increased, and gastrocnemius medialis decreased in treadmill walking than over-ground walking. [Conclusion] We conclude that treadmill walking reduces the range of motion of the pelvic and increases lower limb muscles activity therefore, when using treadmill for the purpose of rehabilitation at the clinic, consider this difference.
