He had a serious crash and hip injury many years ago, but I never saw this leg motion as anything except normal. (I think he needs that hip replacement he keeps telling us about.)


As an engineer myself, I would first want to rule out a noisy sensor in data like that. But assuming the data spikes are real, did you work out what was actually causing the rapid variation in leg-thigh angle? Was his foot angle varying? Was he unstable on the saddle?
