Induced Acceleration Analysis plot

Post by Rodrigo Mateus » Fri Oct 26, 2018 3:06 am

Hello,

I am writing to ask how to plots of induced acceleration analysis is done, especially the ones present in the article "Muscle contributions to propulsion and support during running". An image of the plot is placed below.

Is there a matlab routine to perform this plotting technique?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

This is probably a custom written code.

You can take the acceleration vector and remove the 'z' coordinate. Based on its direction and magnitude you can draw a line at each time step.

Hi,

Thank you for the response I will try your approach.

On a different note, I have a question about the units of the IAA outputs. The induced accelerations of the center of mass are given in m/s2 and the induced accelerations of the other degrees of freedom (if I choose to create an output for them) are given in rad/s2?
