Comparison of two contact detection methods for ground reaction forces and moment estimation during sidestep cuts, runs and walks

Abstract

Force platforms often limit the analysis of human movement to the laboratory. Promising methods for estimating ground reaction forces and moments (GRF&M) can overcome this limitation. The most effective family of methods consists of minimizing a cost, constrained by the subject's dynamic equilibrium, for distributing the force over the contact surface on the ground. The detection of contact surfaces over time is dependent on numerous parameters. This study proposes to evaluate two contact detection methods: the first based on foot kinematics and the second based on pressure sole data. Optimal parameters for these two methods were identified for walking, running, and sidestep cut tasks. The results show that a single threshold in position or velocity is sufficient to guarantee a good estimate. Using pressure sole data to detect contact improves the estimation of the position of the center of pressure (CoP). Both methods demonstrated a similar level of accuracy in estimating ground reaction forces.
