The dramatically reduced area of support compared with quadrupedal walking and an elevated centre of mass (CoM) in upright bipedal gait ... (GRF) moves with respect to the CoM throughout a walking ...

Not surprisingly, a plot of his knee position as a function of the gait cycle (Figure 2) demonstrates these same findings. Video 3. This is an adolescent male with cerebral palsy spastic diplegia.

The utility of this model for risk screening is debatable, as it requires GRF data. While faster to collect than joint moments, collecting GRFs requires specialised equipment (force platform). Future ...

05), and greater medal-lateral GRF during the first 7–16% of stance phase (p<.05) than non-injured runners, suggesting the very early stance is an opportune time window to modify biomechanics.
