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....
