TABLE 1.

Parameter definitions and units.

Parameter name	Definition	Unit
Fmeanstance	Mean force over the entire stance phase	% body weight
Fmeanload	Mean force between start of loading-phase and Fz2	% body weight
Fmeanmid	Mean force between Fz2 and Fz4	% body weight
Fmeanunload	Mean force between Fz4 and the end of the unloading-phase	% body weight
Fz2	First force maximum marking the end of the loading-phase	% body weight
Fz3	Force minimum during the mid-phase between Fz2 and Fz4	% body weight
Fz4	Second force maximum marking the end of mid-phase and beginning of unloading-phase	% body weight
Loading slope	Slope of the line between the start of the loading-phase and the first force reading equal or higher than 80% of Fz2	% body weight/% stance phase duration
Unloading slope	Slope of the line between the first force reading in the unloading-phase below 80% of Fz4 and the end of the stance phase event	% body weight/% stance phase duration
