Pole walking using poles like stocks for ski is believed to be a walking exercise suitable for older adults particularly. The purpose of this study is to analyze effects of pole walking from a biomechanical point of view. For 11 subjects who had conducted a pole walking exercise during 6 weeks, their walking motion patterns were measured using a three dimensional motion capture system and biomechanical loads in the musculoskeletal system were estimated using a whole-body musculoskeletal model. The motion analysis clarified that the joint moments in the lower extremity increased according to extension of the walking step length. The joint moments in the upper extremity also increased though the reaction force on the pole was too small to support the body weight. In conclusion, walking exercise with a pole is expected to obtain effective results different from normal walking.
