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.
