Analysis of Ground Reaction Force and Temporal Parameters during Human Gait for Design of Sensor Mechanism

Ratan Das

Abstract


Study and analysis of human ground reaction forces, spatial and temporal parameters forms an integral part of clinical gait analysis. Constrain stages keep on being the highest quality level for such estimations. This paper displays the investigations of various segments of ground response powers and stride stages utilizing active drive stages. Data for dynamic gait from different subjects were recorded and analyzed for measuring vertical ground reaction force during normal walk. A comparative analysis is also done for plotting variation of different spatio-temporal parameters during slow and normal speed. The objective of this study was to explore, understand and quantify the variation of gait parameters so that this information could be incorporated for effective design and development of portable gait analysis modules.
