Acceleration time

Provide a comprehensive data set with associated models that will enable researchers to validate musculoskeletal model estimates of muscle and joint contact forces in the knee.

Hi Mohammad,

I am checking with our collaborators on the answer to your question. I will get back to you with an answer as soon as I hear from them.

Hi Mohammad,

We do not have any information on the actual treadmill belt speed. The treadmill was accelerated at a rate of 1.0 m/s^2 from a starting speed of 0.8 m/s to the top speed of 1.4 m/s. Then, the treadmill was decelerated at the same rate down to 0.8 m/s. If you would like to calculate the approximate speed of the belt, you could calculate the speed of the foot with each step and then use this to approximate the belt speed.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Allison
