Notes: Sumario: Slip resistance measurements are used by industry, shoe/floor manufacturers, and the legal profession as a criterion for determining slip potentials of various environments. Whilst static coefficients of friction (COF) of a shoe-floor interface have been used traditionally, dynamic COF (DCOF) measures have been shown to be more relevant to the biomechanics of slips and falls. Recently, new devices have become available that better incorporate the biomechanics of foot movement into DCOF measurement. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of environmental and biomechanical factors of the shoe-floor interface on DCOF measures using a new slip resistance testing deviceRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 37, nº 3, March 1994 ; p. 511-524Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Resistencia al deslizamiento Deslizamientos Caídas Calzado de seguridad Biomecánica Otros autores: Bidanda, Bopaya
