  • Normative Vertical Impact Scores

    Hello:

    I am calibrating an impact machine and would like to know average
    initial vertical impact force scores (Fz1) produced from heel-strike
    at a given speed. To this point I have not seen any normative tables
    on average heel-strike values for any population. Ideally, I would
    like to calibrate the impact machine to each participant in my study
    which brings me to my question: Does anyone know of any normative
    charts done on the initial impact peak of vertical ground reaction
    force. Preferably a sample population of males ranging in weight from
    150-200 pounds at speeds between 2 m/s to 4.5 m/s. Thus, knowing an
    individuals weight and velocity, I would like to know what their
    average initial vertical impact force would be to set up our impact
    machine.

    Any comments, research, or direction would be much appreciated.A
    summary of the responses would gladly be posted.

    Thanks, Kal Valjakka, Lakehead University
