This report describes new treadmill ergometer designed to measure the vertical and horizontal ground reaction forces produced by the left and right legs during walking. It was validated by static and dynamic tests. Non-linearity was from 0.2% (left vertical force) to 1.4% (right antero-posterior force). The resonance frequency was from 219 (right vertical direction) to 58 Hz (left medio-lateral direction). A calibration "leg", an air jack in series with a strain gauge, was developed and used to produce force signals comparable to those obtained during human locomotion. The mean differences between the force measured by the calibration leg and treadmill ergometer at 5 km h(-1) were 3.7 N (0.7%) for the left side and 6.5 N (1.2%) for the right. Measurements obtained during human walking showed that the treadmill ergometer has considerable potential for analysing human gait.
