Dear motion analysis experts
I have some motion data that contain double support jumping kinematics.
at the time that I took the test, I didn't know that I have to use 1 force plates for each leg. so my cases jumped on a force plate with both foots.
I used vicon software to calculate kinetic data for demonstrated side.
Is it logical?
if not, what should I do to calculate joints kinetic?
It is not possible to calculate joint kinetics for each limb with rigid body mechanics if you only have a single force measurement from both feet landing on a single force plate. Unless you could somehow assume from your Vicon recordings that both feet simultaneously and uniformly came in contact with the ground and the loading was symmetrical - which most probably didn't happen.

yes... by considering a symmetrical jump, knee kinematic differences between 2 different group was significant.. so its not true if we compare kinematic data in this case?
