What is the vertical ground reaction force pattern in a normal walking gait?
a. bimodal in shape and of minimal magnitude on the order of 1.2-1.6-fold the body weight
b. bimodal in shape and of maximal magnitude on the order of 1-1.2-fold the body weight
c. unimodal in shape and of maximal magnitude on the order of 1-1.2-fold the body weight
d. unimodal in shape and of minimal magnitude on the order of 1-1.2-fold the body weight
Answer: b. bimodal in shape and of maximal magnitude on the order of 1-1.2-fold the body weight
