Measurements of Vertical Ground Reaction Force in Jumping Dogs
Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 1992SummaryThe purpose of this study was: to quantitate the peak vertical ground reaction force acting on the forelimbs of dogs as they landed after jumping an obstacle; to compare that force at three heights; and to evaluate factors that may affect vertical ground reaction force. Thirteen military working dogs were studied.

Force treadmill for measuring vertical and horizontal ground reaction forces
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1998We constructed a force treadmill to measure the vertical, horizontal and lateral components of the ground-reaction forces (Fz, Fy, Fx, respectively) and the ground-reaction force moments (Mz, My, Mx), respectively exerted by walking and running humans. The chassis of a custom-built, lightweight (90 kg), mechanically stiff treadmill was supported along ...

The Effect of Plantar Fasciitis on Vertical Foot-Ground Reaction Force
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2003Despite the implication that mechanical overload is fundamental to the development of plantar fasciitis, gait analysis has revealed inconsistent findings regarding its effect on lower limb loading. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the regional vertical ground reaction force in patients with and without plantar fasciitis. A pressure platform

The effect of socks on vertical and anteroposterior ground reaction forces in walking and running
The Foot, 2011Previous research suggests that socks may have the potential for injury protection through the absorption and/or redistribution of impact forces. However, there is limited research regarding the shock attenuation qualities of athletic socks in sporting populations and previously observed pressure reductions have not been quantified using a force plate ...

The Effect of Ankle Taping on the Ground Reaction Force in Vertical Jump Performance
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2014The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of closed basket weave (CBW) ankle taping on the vertical ground reaction force during the contact phase before the take-off in vertical jump performance. We hypothesized that ankle taping would limit the capability for explosive force generation during the contact phase before the take-off in ...

Correlation between Ground Reaction Force and Tibial Acceleration in Vertical Jumping
Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 2007Modern electronics allow for the unobtrusive measurement of accelerations outside the laboratory using wireless sensor nodes. The ability to accurately measure joint accelerations under unrestricted conditions, and to correlate them with jump height and landing force, could provide important data to better understand joint mechanics subject to real ...

Detection of Parkinson gait pattern based on vertical ground reaction force
2013 IEEE International Conference on Control System, Computing and Engineering, 2013This paper aims to identify gait patterns between normal healthy adults and PD patients based on three vertical ground reaction force gait features namely Maximum vertical heel contact (FZ1), Vertical minimum midstance force (FZ2) and FZ3 known as Maximum vertical push off force.

Effect of starting distance on vertical ground reaction forces in the normal dog
Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2005SummaryThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of starting distance on the peak vertical force (PVF) and associated vertical impulses (VI) of normal dogs. Five dogs of similar weight and body type were trotted at a velocity of 1.6–2.2 m/s from each of three starting distances; 2, 4, and 6 m, from the first plate in a two plate test field ...
