Gait recognition is usually referred to signify the human identification by the style/way people walk in image sequences. Our aim is to implement the traditional gait recognition algorithm and to show the variation in gait recognition when subject is observed parallel to camera under three conditionswalking normal, carrying a bag and wearing a coat. However in this case, the work devises a nove...

Healthcare professionals have long been concerned with the assessment of human gait, but only recently were they able to utilize instrumental gait analysis in routine clinical practice for diagnosis, and to guide the selection of treatment methods for complex musculo-skeletal and neurological disorders. The development of motion analysis systems has progressed through several stages from simple...

The goal of this workshop is to present the usage of the Biomechanical ToolKit library in a context of gait analysis and bicycle pedaling analysis. Firstly, a brief history of the project will be presented. Then, an interactive demonstration of the software Mokka (MOtion Analysis Kinematic and Kinetic Analysis) will be realized. The second part will be on the next major evolution of the project...

BACKGROUND Restoration of gait is an important goal of rehabilitation after hip fracture. Numerous spatial and temporal gait variables have been reported in the literature, but beyond gait speed, there is little agreement on which gait variables should be reported and which are redundant in describing gait recovery following hip fracture. The aims of this study were to identify distinct domains...

This thesis describes a representation of gait appearance for the purpose of person identification and classification. This gait representation is based on simple localized image features such as moments extracted from orthogonal view video silhouettes of human walking motion. A suite of time-integration methods, spanning a range of coarseness of time aggregation and modeling of feature distrib...

REVIEW Objective measurement systems which quan­ tify locomotion have been in use for the past century. But not until World War II, when thousands of men returned home to the United States with amputations, was technology really applied to the understanding of prosthetic gait. Inman and colleagues 1 founded the Biome­ chanics Laboratory at the University of Cali­ fornia to establish fundamental...

This paper presents the results of a project to evaluate different methods of gait cycle selection on the analysis of electromyography recorded during gait. Electromyography (EMG) describes the electrical activity associated with the muscle and is often interpreted in gait analysis using a simultaneously obtained signal to identify phases of the gait cycle. Phase transitions are often selected ...

Cerebral palsy (CP) children present complex and heterogeneous motor disorders that cause gait deviations.Clinical gait analysis (CGA) is needed to identify, understand and support the management of gait deviations in CP. CGA assesses a large amount of quantitative data concerning patients' gait characteristics, such as video, kinematics, kinetics, electromyography and plantar pressure data.Com...
