How to calculate acceleration
Question: How can I calculate acceleration?
Answer: If you are using MatScan or an F-Mat, you can calculate the distance traveled by the CoF (Center of Force) divided by time squared.
This data can be obtained by exporting the CoF co-ordinates into an ASCII file (with the Research software version). The ASCII data will provide the x,y coordinates for the CoF (Center of Force) and time in spreadsheet format (Excel for example). If you have the Clinical version of our software, you will need to write down the x,y coordinates of the CoF and the times, then do the calculations to obtain distances and time intervals.
