Tibial acceleration is frequently measured in runners, and recent advances in wireless technology have led to field studies measuring tibial acceleration outside the laboratory. However, it is unknown whether laboratory and field measures of tibial acceleration differ within runners. In addition, the relationship between peak axial acceleration and the more recent measure peak resultant tibial acceleration has not been determined.
