Suggested wording
Kinematics were generated in Kineos Capture using a sagittal (or frontal) rigid-segment model scaled to subject stature with Drillis & Contini proportions. Joint angles follow a flexion-positive clinical convention. Ground reaction force was estimated from COM acceleration during stance and set to zero in flight. Anthropometry was stature-scaled to the Ross & Wilson phantom (170.18 cm) and expressed as z-scores versus the KRS-27 reference. Symmetry index used Robinson’s SI%.
Do not write that Kineos is a medical device, that GRF is plate-equivalent, or that a z-score diagnoses injury. This is an educational and research decision-support workstation.
