Vertical component of the ground reaction force (vGRF) during linear and curved trajectories in the outer and inner foot. A. Profiles of the vertical component of the ground reaction force (vGRF) obtained during stance in the left foot of a representative subject during linear (LIN) walking and in the same foot when it was on the outside (Foot-Out) and inside (Foot-In) of the curved trajectory. B. Average of all subjects (+ standard error, SE) of the vGRF normalized to body weight (% BW) measured during the linear trajectory (LIN) as the average of right and left foot values and during the curved trajectory in the inner (Foot-In) and outer foot (Foot-Out). Values are obtained from the peak values at heel strike and toe off, and from the trough value at mid-stance. Average of 50 steps.
