Abstract:When studying the biomechanics of a transient turn, the orientation of the body will change relative to the orientation of the force plates over the progression of the turn. To express ground reaction forces relative to the body, this study investigated possible origin locations and axis alignments of body reference frames. The gait patterns of 10 subjects were recorded as subjects negotiated a 90 degrees hallway corner. Body reference frames were chosen whose origins were the center of mass (COM) and the pelvis origin (PEL). A finite-difference method was used to align the axes of the reference frames according to the horizontal paths of the COM and PEL. The ground reaction impulses (GRIs) were calculated relative to the COM and PEL reference frames. GRI differences were small between the PEL and COM frames, suggesting that either is acceptable for turning studies. Based on an investigation of finite-difference parameters, the COM frame should be used when using a kinematic sampling rate of 60 Hz. Either frame is acceptable when sampling at higher rates.
