Evaluating the Foot Touch Framework Model

A Foot Touch framework model has been developed to express the ground reaction force waveforms observed for walking and running. The purpose of this research is to collect ground reaction force data during walking and running that can be used to evaluate and verify the Foot Touch framework.
