Title
Ambulatory Measurement of Ground Reaction Forces
Abstract
The measurement of ground reaciion forces is imporiani in the biomechanical analysis of gaii and other motor activities. Ii is ihepurpose ofihis siudy to show ihe feasibility of ambulatoiy measurement of ground reaciion forces using two six degrees offi-eedom sensors mounted under the shoe. One sensor was mounied under the heel, the other under ihe forefooi, rhus allowing normal gaii wiihjlaion ofthe foot duringpush-ofi The measuremeni of the ground reaction force was evaluated in a healthy subject, who walked repeaiedly over a force plate. The ground reaciion force reconstructed ?om the insirumented shoe sensor signals corresponded well wiih the force plate measurements. the RMS difference between ihe moduli of both ground reaction force measurements was 18.4 * 3.1 N (2.3 =k 0.4 % of maximal vertical ground reacfion force) over 12 evaluated trials. The RMS distance of ihe center of pressure esiimaies of both measuremeni systems after optimal alignment was 3.1 =k 0.4 mm.
