As inertial measurement units (IMUs) are used to capture gait data in real-world environments, guidelines are required in order to determine a ‘typical’ or ‘stable’ gait pattern across multiple days of data collection. Since uphill and downhill running can gr…

Simulation

Imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time

A simulation is an imitative representation of a process or system that could exist in the real world. In this broad sense, simulation can often be used interchangeably with model. Sometimes a clear distinction between the two terms is made, in which simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key characteristics or behaviors of the selected system or process, whereas the simulation represents the evolution of the model over time. Another way to distinguish between the terms is to define simulation as experimentation with the help of a model. This definition includes time- independent simulations. Often, computers are used to execute the simulation.

2019
As inertial measurement units (IMUs) are used to capture gait data in real-world environments, guidelines are required in order to determine a ‘typical’ or ‘stable’ gait pattern across multiple days of data collection. Since uphill and downhill running can greatly affect the biomechanics of running gait, this study sought to determine the number of runs needed to establish a stable running pattern during level, downhill, and uphill conditions for both univariate and multivariate analyses of running biomechanical d…
