Quantitative Domains
• Temporal
– phases (stance/swing) and events (footstrike, toe-off), stride rate
• Electromyography
– muscle activation patterns
• Kinematic (motion description)
– stride length, velocity, ranges of motion,
acceleration
• Kinetic (causes of motion)
– ground reaction forces, pressure patterns,
joint forces, moments of force, work, energy
and power
Temporal Analysis

Stride time (s)
Stride rate = 1/time (/s)
Stride cadence = 120 x rate (b/min)
Instrumentation
– Photocells and timers
– Videography (1 frame =
1/30 second)
– Metronome

Kinetic Analysis
Causes of motion
• Forces and moments of force
• Work, energy and power
• Impulse and momentum
• Inverse Dynamics derives forces and
moments from kinematics and body
segment parameters (mass, centre of
gravity, and moment of inertia)
Steps for Inverse Dynamics
• Space diagram
of the lower
extremity
Divide Body into Segments and
Make Free-Body Diagrams
Make free-body
diagrams of
each segment
Add all Known Forces to FBD
• Weight (W)
• Ground
reaction
force (Fg)
Apply Newton’s Laws of
Motion to Terminal Segment
Start analysis
with terminal
segment(s),
e.g., foot or
hand
Apply Reactions of Terminal
Segment to Distal End of Next
Segment in Kinematic Chain
Continue to
next link in
the kinematic
chain, e.g.,
leg or
forearm
Repeat with Next segment in
Chain or Begin with Another Limb
Repeat until
all segments
have been
considered,
e.g., thigh or
arm
Compute Net Force and
Moment Powers
• Powers provided by the net moments of force
can be positive (increasing mechanical energy)
or negative (dissipation of mechanical energy),
or can show transfer of energy across joint
usually by muscles
Pmoment = M w
• Powers provided by net forces show rates of
transfer of energy from one segment to another
through joint connective tissues (ligaments) and
bone-on-bone (cartilage) contact
Pmoment = F  v
