The document discusses gait analysis, defining gait as the medical term for human locomotion with unique patterns for each individual. It outlines the process of gait analysis using technology such as cameras and markers to capture limb movements, as well as the phases of the gait cycle and factors affecting gait. Applications of gait technology span security, medical, and sports fields, while the conclusion highlights the importance of biometric identification through gait patterns.

3. INTRODUCTION :
 Gait is the medical term to describe human
locomotion or the way that we walk. Thus,
it is a locomotion achieved through the
movement of limbs.
 Different gait patterns are characterized by
differences in limb movement patterns.
Thus, every individual has a unique gait
pattern, while there are some features in a
person’s gait that are common for
everyone.

4. PROCESS
A typical gait analysis laboratory has several cameras
(video and / or infrared) placed around a walkway or a
treadmill, which are linked to a computer. The person
has markers located at various points of reference of
the body (e.g., iliac spines of the pelvis, ankle
malleolus, and the condyles of the knee), or groups of
markers applied to half of the body segments. The
person walks down the catwalk or the treadmill and the
computer calculates the trajectory of each marker in
three dimensions.

6. GAIT CYCLE :
 Gait cycle is used to describe the complex activity of walking,
by describing the motions from the period of time from one
heel strike on the ground to the next strike of the same heel,
on the ground for a second time.

7. PHASES OF GAIT
CYCLE

8. STANCE PHASE
 STANCE : Defined as the interval in
which the foot is on the ground .
 It begins at the instant, that one
extremity contacts the ground &
continuous only as long as some portion
of the foot is in contact with the ground.
 It is approx 60% of normal gait duration

9. SUBDIVISION OF STANCE
PHASE :
 Heel strike (Initial Contact)
 Foot flat (Loading Response)
 Mid-stance (Mid Stance)
 Heel off (Terminal Stance)
 Toe off (Pre Swing)

11. SWING PHASE
 SWING : Defined as the interval in
which the foot is not in contact with the
ground .
 It begins as soon as the toe of one
extremity leaves the ground & ceases
just before heel strike or contact of the
same extremity.
 It makes up 40% of normal gait cycle

12. SUBDIVISION OF SWING PHASE:
 1) Acceleration (Initial Swing)
 2) Mid-swing
 3) Deceleration (Terminal Swing)

20. CONCLUSION:
Biometrics points are useful for making
identifications with camera systems, but
they depend on the existence of a
previously generated database so that
gait patterns can be compared.
