Markerless View Independent Gait Analysis with Self-camera Calibration
, 2008 We present a new method for viewpoint independent markerless gait analysis. The system uses a single camera, does not require camera calibration and works with a wide range of directions of walking.

Permutation entropy and irreversibility in gait kinematic time series from patients with mild cognitive decline and early alzheimer’s dementia [PDF]
, 2019 Gait is a basic cognitive purposeful action that has been shown to be altered in late stages of neurodegenerative dementias. Nevertheless, alterations are less clear in mild forms of dementia, and the potential use of gait analysis as a biomarker of ...

Exoskeleton therapy in cerebral palsy: improved gait endurance without kinematic change
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceIntroductionCerebral palsy (CP) often leads to impairments in movement and posture, limiting functional mobility. Robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) using powered exoskeletons has emerged as a novel approach to enhance gait in individuals with CP ...

Clinical Gait Evaluation with Neuromuscular Impairments (Clinical GENI) for spastic cerebral palsy
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceBackgroundGait abnormalities in spastic cerebral palsy (CP) result from four primary neuromuscular impairments: muscle weakness, short muscle-relative-to-skeletal-length, muscle spasticity, and impaired selective motor control.

Gait and Force Analysis of Provoked Pig Gait on Clean and Fouled Concrete Surfaces [PDF]
, 2009 Gait and force analysis have proven to be useful methods in linking claw injuries to surface material conditions. To determine the relationship between claw disorder and floor properties such as friction and surface abrasiveness, the factors controlling ...
