Force treadmill for measuring vertical and horizontal ground reaction forces.
We constructed a force treadmill to measure the vertical, horizontal and lateral components of the ground-reaction forces (Fz, Fy, Fx, respectively) and the ground-reaction force moments (Mz, My, Mx), respectively exerted by walking and running humans. The chassis of a custom-built, lightweight (90 kg), mechanically stiff treadmill was supported along its length by a large commercial force plat...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Peak Vertical Ground Reaction Forces in Running
Nine subjects (6 males, 3 females) ranging in body mass from 90.9 to 45.5 kg ran repeated trials across a force platform while being filmed at 50 fps. The subjects ran five barefooted trials at each of three speeds: 3.35, 3.83, and 4.47 m s-I. Force data were collected on-line and analyzed for the magnitude and temporal characteristics of the initial impact (FZ1) peak and the active (Fz2) peak ...
متن کاملBed adapted for a patient with burn injuries
BACKGROUND For successful wound healing of extensive burn injuries, air circulation around the wound and drainage of wound secretion is inevitable. Therefore, typically extensive burn injuries are treated by using a specifi cally adapted hospital bed (e.g. Clinitron AF). The patient is bedded in a mass of micro glass balls, which are swirled by the application of a strong air current to support...
متن کاملValidation of vertical ground reaction forces on individual limbs calculated from kinematics of horse locomotion.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether individual limb forces could be calculated accurately from kinematics of trotting and walking horses. We collected kinematic data and measured vertical ground reaction forces on the individual limbs of seven Warmblood dressage horses, trotting at 3.4 m s(-1) and walking at 1.6 m s(-1) on a treadmill. First, using a segmental model, we calculate...
متن کاملDeriving Vertical Orientation from Anchor-Based Assessments
Modern search engine result pages are becoming more and more heterogeneous. This is mostly achieved by adding a special vertical results on top of traditional “general web” results. These results usually come from special sources (verticals) and the choice of verticals is different for different queries. Vertical orientation is an important value that quantifies the user’s need of having result...
