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...

Methods for collecting footfall data have come a long way since the days of using ink or carbon paper to make footprints on paper which were then measured with wooden rulers. Today, the gold standard for collecting accurate Spatio Temporal Parameters (STP) during gait...

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...
