Journal Article
Smith, L., Preece, S., Mason, D., & Bramah, C. (2015). A comparison of kinematic algorithms to estimate gait events during overground running. Gait & Posture, 41(1), 39-43. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2014.08.009

The gait cycle is frequently divided into two distinct phases, stance and swing, which can be accurately determined from ground reaction force data. In the absence of such data, kinematic algorithms can be used to estimate footstrike and toe-off. The...
