Title
A study on human gait analysis
Abstract
Human gait is one of the most important biometric which has so far been neglected for use in medical diagnostics. In this paper, we make a feasibility study on human gait acquired from a wearable sensor based biometric suit called as Intelligent Gait Oscillation Detector (IGOD). This suit measures simultaneous gait oscillation from eight major joints (two knees, two hips, two elbows and two shoulders) of a human body. Techniques for analyzing and understanding the human gait patterns were developed. Variance in the gait oscillation was studied with respect to gait speed varying from 3km/hr to 5km/hr. Gender variance (male/female) gait oscillation has also been studied. A comprehensive analysis on human gait affected by knee joint movement and hip joint oscillation has been addressed with the arm swing effects. This analysis will provide us with an insight on human bipedal locomotion and its stability. We plan to create a repository of human gait oscillations which could extensively be analyzed for person identification and detecting walking problems in patients, which is detection of disease in the medical field.
