This is a dimensionless measure: sacral velocity normalized by gbh where g is the acceleration due to gravity and bh is the subject's body height.

Target for the initial 8 subjects was 0.47; analysis revealed that the subjects could not consistently reach this target, so the target was adjusted to 0.4 for the remaining 11 subjects.
