12. Diana
    • Update scripts to finalize reading of CSV files containing contact pressure data collected during patellofemoral joint testing.
    • Implement calculation for calibration, averaging, peak pressure, contact area, contact force in scripts for the analysis of patellofemoral contact pressures.
    • Document progress on scripts for contact pressure analysis on the wiki, at ["Specifications/PressureAnalysis"].
13. Omar
    • Update scripts to finalize extraction of time windows of interest in tibiofemoral joint kinematics/kinetics data.
    • Start drafting analysis of reproducibility data (anterior-posterior laxity) collected during tibiofemoral joint testing.
    • Document progress on scripts for pre-processing of joint kinematics/kinetics on the wiki, at ["Specifications/ModelingKinematicsKinetics"].
