Table 2. Mean ± SD of the discrete biomechanical variables.

Values were calculated from normal ground reaction force (GRF) waveforms predicted by the LSTM network (“Predicted”) and normal GRF waveforms measured from the force-measuring treadmill (“Measured”) across all speeds and subjects for each slope.
