Vertical ground reaction forces

1. Locomotive syndrome is linked with lower vertical ground reaction forces in humans (locomotive syndrome stage 1 and stage 2) (p < 0.001).

   “The rate of VGRF development was significantly lower in the LS stages 1 and 2 than in the Non-LS group (p < 0.001).”

1. Vertical ground reaction forces predict Hoehn and Yahr stage in humans (Parkinson's disease) (Spearman ρ = 0.921, R2 = 0.953).

   “achieving strong correlation with clinical grades (Spearman ρ = 0.921, p < 0.001), low error (MAE = 0.158, RMSE = 0.241), and high determination (R2 = 0.953).”

1. Vertical ground reaction forces predict parkinson's disease detection in humans (Parkinson's disease detection) (AUC 0.940).

   “with FCNN-Transformer showing the highest mean AUC (0.940) and statistically superior performance (paired Wilcoxon test, p < 0.05).”
