Abstract Summary
New wireless sensors are being developed to help estimate kinetic and spatiotemporal running characteristics, but the relationship between these variables and kinetic variables quantified from ground reaction force (GRF) data are not fully understood. RunScribe variables estimating shock, braking, impact, contact time, and stride length were compared to similar parameters calculated using ground reaction force data. RunScribe’s braking estimates were positively correlated to peak posterior ground reaction force, however other kinetic measures were not significantly related. Contact time was significantly correlated; however, stride length was unrelated.
