Development of a Portable Device for Surface Traction Characterization at the Shoe–Floor Interface
Surfaces, 2022 Slip and fall accidents are widespread in workplaces and on walkways. Slipping is generally initiated by a sudden change in the flooring properties or due to a low available traction at the shoe–floor interface. To measure shoe-floor traction, mechanical

Are non-slip socks really 'non-slip'? An analysis of slip resistance [PDF]
BMC Geriatrics, 2009 Non-slip socks have been suggested as a means of preventing accidental falls due to slips. This study compared the relative slip resistance of commercially available non-slip socks with other foot conditions, namely bare feet, compression stockings and conventional socks, in order to determine any traction benefit.Phase one involved slip resistance ...
