Can you walk and chew gum at the same time? Yes. But can you chew gum slowly and walk quickly at the same time? Maybe. But only if you try really hard. Walking and chewing gum may seem like the simplest of multitasks in a world where multitasking is not only the norm...

The study of human locomotion consists of characterizing the shortest repeatable task in walking, the gait cycle. This movement is repeated over and over in order for humans to walk through the world. In addition to measuring the magnitude and symmetry of gait...

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...

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...

Two particular phases of walking, gait initiation and termination, are essential to understanding how the center of pressure and center of mass normally operate in an asymptomatic subject and better understand the influence of the pathology. Gait initiation defines...

Spontaneous walking speed is a well-known measure for functional capabilities. Often used as an indicator of performance and physical health, its clinometric properties can be useful in predicting an individual’s future health status, especially for adults 65 and...
