Fig 2. Average force AVER75 and calculation of high loads HIGH100.

Fig 2

Resultant forces Fres from walking. Coloured lines = forces from 10 subjects with normalized BW = 75 kg. Black solid line = AVER75 force, represents subject of 75 kg with average load levels. Subject H7R had the highest peak value (red circle). AVER75 was multiplied by factor f1, to obtain a peak equal to the peak of H7R (black dotted line). The obtained force was further multiplied by f2 = 1.33 = 100 kg / 75 kg to obtain the HIGH100 load (black dashed line). The factor fAH = f1*f2, obtained from the analysis of Fres, was then applied to all 6 load components. HIGH100 represents subjects of 100 kg with high load levels. For explanation of factors f1 and f2, please also see Fig 3.
