Document Summary
1. 2 phases of gait/stride: - stance/support (60% gait cycle during walking) 2. active markers: similar procedure as passive markers but active markers are triggered by a signal and emit a signal too. 3. angular kinematic analysis: - joint angle changes throughout walking/running cycles. Generally including a graphic representation of joint angles as a function of time. 4. angular kinetics: - branch of biomechanics concerned with examining forces that produce motion (angular motion) 6. cop: weighted average of all the downward acting forces on the force platform and provides a general pressure pattern. 7. diff. btwn walking and running: - time spent in each of the 2 phases of gait. 9. foot fall colours: left = cyan right = magenta. 10. further division of stance/support phase: 1) double stance period: single stance period. A pattern, style, or manner of ambulation. In theory, left right sides of the body should mirror one another.
