  • Method for determining the heights of multiple jumps
    Patent number: 6389894
    Abstract: Comparable values for the heights of the individual jumps in a series of multiple jumps can be achieved, if defined initial conditions for first and second successive integrations of measured vertical forces are given for each individual jump. The initial condition for the first integration is taken as a zero velocity in the middle of the flight time interval for each individual jump. For every second integration, as initial condition for the jump height, a constant initial height is taken. This is a characteristic value of the test person.

  • Biomechanical measuring arrangement
    Patent number: 6360598
    Abstract: For more accurate analysis of the motions of human beings and animals, two commercial measuring systems, namely a force measuring platform fitted with piezoelectric crystal sensors and a high-resolution surface pressure distribution measuring system equipped with a large number of vertical force sensors, are combined and preferentially joined by gluing to form a single measuring unit.
