Table 1.

Definition of outcome measures, as displayed in Figure1

Outcome measure Description
Fz1
Local maximum in the vertical GRF data, normalized to body weight (BW).
Fz2
Maximum value in the vertical GRF data, normalized to BW.
LR
The steepest part of the vertical GRF curve, from stance to impact peak. Expressed in BW/s.
ALR
Average loading rate, the slope of the line from 20% to 80% of Fz1. Expressed in BW/s.
tFz1
Time from heelstrike to Fz1 in ms.
tFz2
Time from heelstrike to Fz2 in ms.
CT Contact time, from heelstrike to toe-off in ms.

Outcome measures for the overground and treadmill data were identified with the same routine. Foot strikes were detected with a threshold of 30 Newton for both heelstrike and toe-off.
