Ground reaction force sensing is one of the key
components of gait analysis in legged locomotion research. To
measure continuous force data during locomotion, we present a
novel compound instrumented treadmill design. The treadmill is
1.7 m long, with a natural frequency of 170 Hz and an adjustable
range that can be used for humans and small robots alike. Here,
we present the treadmill’s design methodology and characterize it
in its natural frequency, noise behavior and real-life performance.
Additionally, we apply an ISO 376 norm conform calibration
procedure for all spatial force directions and center of pressure
position. We achieve a force accuracy of ≤ 5.6 N for the ground
reaction forces and ≤ 13 mm in center of pressure position.
