Fig 2 View of the rigid plastic piece with 3 IRED markers on the shank and 3 markers on the lateral calcaneus. The tip of the digitizing probe is used to identify the lateral malleolus with the foot and ankle in a neutral position in this illustration.

Fig 3 Representative trace of vertical force over time during the STS motion from 1 trial of a randomly selected subject. The top, solid line represents force on the stronger leg and the bottom, dashed line represents force on the weaker leg. The transition point that signifies the end of the STS motion was identified manually by referring to the amount of variation in force during static standing (on the far right side of the trace) as a reference point. That transition point is identified by a dashed line in this illustration.

Fig 4 Illustration of data processing for STS. (A) Vertical force as measured by the forceplate; and (B) the kinematic measurements for ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion. The solid line represents the mean of the 3 trials; the light dashed lines represent the trace for each trial.

Fig 5 Illustration of data processing for gait. (A) Vertical force as measured by the forceplate; and (B) the kinematic measurements for ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion. The solid line represents the mean of the 3 trials; the light dashed lines represent the trace for each trial. Peak dorsiflexion was identified for the period of time that the subject was bearing weight on the forceplate with that limb during the stance phase of gait.
