Abstract: This paper presents the development of an instrumented-treadmill, designed for use in the evaluation of prosthetic limbs during amputee running. The motorised treadmill was chosen for this study because of its advantages over conventional ground mounted force platforms, e.g. decreased time required for the datacollection, laboratory space required, repeatability, control of speed, and improved statistical power through collection of a high number of successive foot contacts. The long-term aim of this work is t… Show more

“…In our study, we allowed five minutes or more for the individuals with amputation to habituate to treadmill running, according to prior studies [62][63][64]. While some studies found differences in the use of instrumented treadmills between individuals with and without amputation such as variability in gait asymmetry and increased energy costs [59,65,66], measurements using instrumented treadmills appeared to be valid for gait analyses [59,67].…”

“…By incorporating force platforms internally, DMFTs can measure GRF directly without considering the structural dynamics of the treadmill body [3842]. Typically, DMFTs were built by installing force platforms under the track surface of the treadmill.…”

“…Based on the location of the force transducers, force treadmills can be divided into two categories: direct measurement force treadmills (DMFTs) and indirect measurement force treadmills (IMFTs). By incorporating force platforms internally, DMFTs can measure GRF directly without considering the structural dynamics of the treadmill body [ 38 42 ]. Typically, DMFTs were built by installing force platforms under the track surface of the treadmill.…”
