The total walking ground reaction forces (GRF) are measured using a single force plate. For inverse dynamics, GRF is required for each foot separately. Is there any method to do it?
We implemented a quite robust algorithm in our Leonardo Mechanograph Gangway Systems (https://www.galileo-training.com/de-english/products/p19/leonardo-mechanograph-gw.html). This works very good for fairly fit individuals. But having doen quiet some time of development in this filed, it appears that recalculating from the trajectory of the COP has it limitations when it comes to patients with severe functional deficites like in CP for example. But apart fom these extreme cases, simple algorithms work great. Unfortunaterly I can’t give you any details about the algorithms sicne they are part of the commercial software.
