The walking surface influences vertical ground reaction force and centre of pressure data obtained with pressure-sensing insoles
VGRF data are affected by the type of walking surface in healthy adults. Walking on a slope affects VGRF and COP parameters, and in addition, the compliance of the surface increases their variability. When analysing gait data measured via insoles during daily living, we recommend to correct for the surface type to decrease variability.
