Impact, Work and Force
Analysis Techniques
Force Transducer Calibration or
EMG to Isometric Force Relationships
• use Pearson Correlation from Correlation menu
• after correlation and regression coefficients are computed you
are prompted to apply one of the regression equations to the
original data
• plot relationship with X-Y plot
• use Scaling menu from Analysis menu to scale data to any
units`
force

EMG
LEEMG
Force platform analyses
•
•
•
•
use submenu Analyze Force Plate Data from Analysis menu
two plates can be combined (Combine Two Plates)
impulse computed (from integration statistics)
changes in centres of gravity estimated (Centre of Gravity)
Centre of gravity calculations
• requires subject to have static initial conditions
• subject’s feet must be on one force platform or the data from two
force platforms must be combined
• can compute 2D or 3D takeoff velocities, height after takeoff,
work done, power and lowest and highest positions during
stance period
• high-pass filtering reduces drift for horizontal dimensions
Angular Impulse
• use Work or Angular Impulse Analysis from Integration Statics
submenu of Analysis menu
• requires data file that contains moments (from Vicon or
Visual3D ASCII export)
• moments must be in the first half of the data file, second half
may contain powers
External, Internal and Total Work
• use Work or Angular Impulse Analysis from Integration Statics
submenu of Analysis menu
• requires data file that contains moment powers (from Vicon or
Visual3D ASCII export)
• powers must be in first half or all of the data file
• average work, sum of positive and negative work and external,
internal and total mechanical work done are computed for each
axis
• sums for each axis and total for all axes are also computed
• calculates percent contributions for each moment
Moment Power Analysis (Work Bursts)
• use Moment Power Analysis from Integration Statics submenu
of Analysis menu
• requires data file that contains moment powers (from Vicon or
Visual3D ASCII export)
• computes work bursts and peak moments and powers
whenever power changes from positive to negative or moment
changes from positive to negative
• set a threshold to eliminate small bursts of power
Impact (GSI and HIC) Analyses
• use GSI and HIC (Impacts) from Integration Statics submenu of
Analysis menu
• needs one channel of acceleration data scaled to g’s or m/s2
• second channel may contain triggering information (no longer
used)
• computes Gadd Severity Index for head impacts only (i.e., uses
a2.5)
• average acceleration, A-3 and HIC, integral, delta g and time to
peak acceleration
• HIC is only done for the maximum allowable time interval
