kth

nee-thigh-hip injury function.

Syntax

kth(time_vector, force_vector, dummy_type, return_value, debug)

Arguments

vector1
The independent time vector in seconds (mandatory).
vector2
The dependent force vector in Newtons (mandatory).
dummy_type
The function accepts either strings or integers as the dummy type:
  • 1 or "H3_M_50" = HIII-M50 (Default)
  • 2 or "H3_F_5" = HIII-F5
Note: Double quotes must be used around strings.
return_value
0 = KTH (Default)
1 = Impulse
2 = Impulse Curve X vector
3 = Impulse Curve Y vector
4 = Risk Knee
5 = P-Hip 3
6 = P-Hip 4
7 = Vector with the results KTH Risk Knee, P Hip 3, P Hip 4, Impulse
8 = Boundary Value
If you are using this argument, the 3rd argument is also required.
debug
0 = debug off (Default)
1 = debug on

Example

Note Text:
KTH Injury Risk = {kth(c1.x,c1.y,1,0)} 
KTH Impulse = {kth(c1.x,c1.y,1,1)}
KTH Risk Knee =  {kth(c1.x,c1.y,1,4)}
KTH P-Hip 3 = {kth(c1.x,c1.y,1,5)}
KTH P-Hip 4 = {kth(c1.x,c1.y,1,6)}
Boundary = {kth(c1.x,c1.y,1,8)}
KTH Impulse Curve
X Vector: kth(c1.x,c1.y,1,2)
Vector: kth(c1.x,c1.y,1,3)

Comments

kth supports a flexible number of arguments. The time and force vectors are mandatory, and the three additional arguments are optional. When only using the two vectors, the KTH Injury risk for the HIII Male 50% Dummy will be returned.
