The study of human locomotion consists of characterizing the shortest repeatable task in walking, the gait cycle. This movement is repeated over and over in order for humans to walk through the world. In addition to measuring the magnitude and symmetry of gait...

Bipedal gait requires movements from the right and left sides of the body, which can be measured and analyzed to determine the quality of a person’s gait. A common method of analyzing the quality of gait is with spatial temporal gait parameters (STP). These...

Spatiotemporal Parameters (STP) are a reliable gait measurement as proven by scientific literature. All STP are derived from measuring the spatiality and temporality of foot-based placements. The first step in measuring gait analysis is to isolate the gait cycle....

One category of gait measurements proven powerful in scientific literature is spatiotemporal parameters (STP). All STP are derived from a few basic variables, reflecting the spatiality and temporality of foot-based placements. In measuring gait analysis, the first...

Gait analysis is the study of human locomotion. In order to analyze and quantify how someone walks, it is necessary to isolate the shortest, unique, repeatable task during gait. This task is called the gait cycle. A single gait cycle can be measured from any gait...

Recent advancements in virtual reality (VR) have opened up new areas of study. For instance, little is known to what extent humans can modify their walking pattern over time to accommodate a Virtual Environment (VE) while they experience visual perturbations. Sensory...
