Estimating Running Ground Reaction Forces from Plantar Pressure during Graded Running.

Ground reaction forces (GRFs) describe how runners interact with their surroundings and provide the basis for computing inverse dynamics. Wearable technology can predict time-continuous GRFs during walking and running; however, the majority of GRF predictions examine level ground locomotion. The purpose of this manuscript was to predict vertical and anterior-posterior GRFs across different speeds and slopes.
