It presents a detailed introduction to slips and falls and how crucial footwear traction is to avoid such incidents. The book covers ergonomics involved in the development of tread designs and the study of their effect on traction across footwear and systematically modified shoes. It discusses characterization techniques employed in the study of footwear traction across normal gait activities, such as walking and running and in sports, such as sprinting, basketball, and football. The book also covers the role of flooring and slippery contaminants on footwear traction and its generalizability. Additionally, the book also presents how the wear of footwear outsoles may reduce the traction at the shoe-floor and lead to slips and falls. It also discusses the challenges with the existing footwear traction testing methods, and the latest developments in this niche area are highlighted. The bookis a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in ergonomics, footwear technology, manufacturing engineering, safety engineering, and design engineering and its allied fields. . 0aSports sciences.967947 0aRecreationxEquipment and supplies.967948 0aBiomaterials. 0aEngineering design.964316 0aIndustrial engineering. 0aProduction engineering.14aSport Technology.96794924aBiomedical Materials.96392224aEngineering Design.96431624aIndustrial and Production Engineering.1 aGupta, Shubham.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9679501 aChatterjee, Subhodip.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9679512 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981997822908iPrinted edition:z978981997824308iPrinted edition:z9789819978250 0aBiomedical Materials for Multi-functional Applications,x2731-970996719940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-7823-6  aZDB-2-SBL  aZDB-2-SXB  c56737d56737
