A Kinematics and Kinetic Comparison of Overground and Treadmill Running

TL;DR: Treadmill-based analysis of running mechanics can be generalized to overground running mechanics, provided the treadmill surface is sufficiently stiff and belt speed is adequately regulated.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of variability in spatiotemporal gait parameters between treadmill and overground walking conditions.

TL;DR: Differences in the spatiotemporal gait parameters of the lower extremities and trunk during treadmill and overground walking are examined using comparison of mean and variability values to demonstrate the importance of consideration of gait variability when using treadmills for research or clinical purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of preferred walking speed on treadmill may lead to high oxygen cost on treadmill walking

TL;DR: Investigation of the differences in preferred walking speed determined both on overground and on a treadmill and, to measure walking energy expenditure and spatio-temporal parameters of gait, found O-PWS should be used for oxygen consumption measurement during treadmill walking tests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gait parameters and stride-to-stride variability during familiarization to walking on a split-belt treadmill

TL;DR: The results suggest that in order to collect accurate data for gait analysis, subjects should be familiarized to the split-belt treadmill for at least 5 min prior to data collection.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of a single inertial sensor to identify stride, step, and stance durations of running gait.

TL;DR: The results from this research found that inertial sensors are suitable to measure stride, step, and stance duration, and provide the opportunity to measure running gait outside of the traditional laboratory.

A Joint Coordinate System for the Clinical Description of Three-Dimensional Motions: Application to the Knee

TL;DR: This paper presents a joint coordinate system that provides a simple geometric description of the three-dimensional rotational and translational motion between two rigid bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of lower extremity kinematics during level walking

TL;DR: The relatively small number of body surface markers used in the VICON system render it easy to implement for use in routine clinical gait evaluations and should be a useful reference for describing and comparing pathologic gait patterns.

A gait analysis data collection and reduction technique

TL;DR: The gait analysis laboratory provides quantified assessments of human locomotion which assist in the orthopaedic management of various pediatric gait pathologies by utilizing a video-based data collection strategy similar to commercially available systems for motion data collection.
Journal ArticleDOI

A fortran package for generalized, cross-validatory spline smoothing and differentiation

TL;DR: A subroutine package is presented in which the amount of smoothing on a set of n noisy datapoints is determined from the data by means of the Generalized Cross-Validation or predicted Mean-Squared Error criteria of Wahba and her collaborators.

Running in the real world: adjusting leg stiffness for different surfaces

TL;DR: It is found that human runners adjust their leg stiffness to accommodate changes in surface stiffness, allowing them to maintain similar running mechanics on different surfaces, and suggests that incorporating an adjustable leg stiffness in the design of hopping and running robots is important if they are to match the agility and speed of animals on varied terrain.
