We are going to be comparing walking on a flat surface treadmill compared to walking on a treadmill at an incline; we would like to determine if walking at an incline affects our center of mass. We also would like to see if, indeed, the joint angles of the hips and shoulder will change and the torso will be bent forward while walking at an incline. This comparison is important to us because we would like to see if walking at an incline could contribute to back problems.
