Background: Modern gait analysis offers a broad variety of biomechanical parameters
through which to quantify gait. However, no consensus has yet been established with …

The scientific literature on automated gait analysis for human recognition has grown
dramatically over the past 15 years. A number of sensing modalities including those based …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of walking speed on the amount
and structure of the stride-to-stride fluctuations of the gait cycle. Based on previous findings …

Modulating speed over a large range is important in walking, yet understanding how the
neuromotor patterns adapt to the changing energetic demands of different speeds is not well …

Objectives To examine the validity and inter-unit reliability of 10 Hz GPS for measuring
instantaneous velocity during maximal accelerations. Design Experimental. Methods Two 10 …

Studies on human perception have identified pelvis and torso motion as key discriminators
between male and female gaits. However, while most observers would advocate that men …

Falls are common after stroke and often attributed to poor balance. Falls often occur during
walking, suggesting that walking patterns may induce a loss of balance. Gait after stroke is …
