Abstract
Background and purpose This study compared the effect of forward walking and backward walking on many aspects including kinematics kinetics and muscle activity.Methods Thirty subjects participated in this randomized clinical trial. The outcome measure used was Micro Force Evaluation and Testing FET2 Dynamometer for measuring quadriceps strength.Results The results were analyzed using the statistical software SPSS 21.0 version both descriptive and inferential analyses were used.Conclusion The study concludes that clinically backward walking can lead to higher quadriceps strength but statistically both forward and backward walking can increase quadriceps strength.
