Summary
Gait analysis has its irreplaceable stance in the area of rehabilitation. In clinical practice, subjective gait evaluation is used with the aim of diagnosing disorder or injury. Quantitative measurements (scientific approach) are used with the aim of effectively evaluating the selected rehabilitation program.
Presently, sophisticated kinematic systems (the Vicon MX system belongs to this category) allow fast and accurate data processing. A combination of kinematic and dynamic systems (force plates) allows for a complex evaluation of the observed activity through the obtained data. Spatiotemporal variables are ranked among the most common variables along with angles between segments, components of ground reaction force and joint moments. This article includes fundamental information about performing gait analysis while using the Vicon MX system and refers to possible measurement output.
Key words:
