Comparison of leg spring characteristics during running using mass-spring-damper modeling

During heel-toe running, the vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) profile has both impact and active peaks. Although the mass-spring model (a single mass and a linear spring) is simple and useful to predict running characteristics, its simulation of VGRF profiles produces only a single peak rather...
