6 cameras stereophotogrammetric system (60-120 Hz - BTS S.r.l, Padova); [A]
-
2 plantar pressure plates systems (410 x 410 x 0.5 mm, 0.64 cm2 resolution, 150 Hz, Imagortesi, Piacenza); [B]
-
2 force plates (FP4060-10, Bertec Corporation, USA); [C]
-
2 electromyography systems (Pocket EMG 16 channels wired and Free EMG 8 channels wireless, BTS S.r.l, Padova); [D]
-
1 insole pedobarographic system (Pedar-X, 256 max sensors, 20K Hz - Novel, DE); [E]

webcam (2 Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 and 1 Logitech QuickCam Express). [F]
Type of data acquisition
-
Kinematics: 3D kinematic data, 3D markers trajectories, 3D joint angles, segments velocity and acceleration, stride and stance length and time; video recordings; 3D Markerless motion capture.
-
Kinetics: 3D ground reaction forces and center of pressure displacement.
-
Plantar pressure: barefoot and in shoes plantar pressure distribution.
-
EMG: surface electrical muscular activations.
