clip_continuous

The 3ms criterion commonly used to measure potential for chest injury.

Syntax

clip(vector1, vector2, scalar1, scalar2, scalar3)

Arguments

vector1
Time vector of data to analyze (seconds).
vector2
The chest acceleration vector (g).
scalar1
Window in milliseconds (usually 3ms for chest).
scalar2
Should always be equal to 1.
scalar3
Flag to turn on debug mode (prints to Message Log). Optional argument (default = off).

Returns

A scalar value.

Example

clip_continuous(p1w1c1.x/1000, p1w1c1.y/9.81, 3)

Comments

Computes the maximum value that the linear interpolation of a time series (typically a chest resultant acceleration filtered to a 300 Hz cutoff) that meets or exceeds for an interval of at least 3 ms, based on the linearly interpolated time series.
