A Portable System for Gait Analysis

Gait analysis is an imperative process which is used for the diagnostic process in terms of medical field and it is used in rehabilitation therapy as well as for the exercise training[5] .Abnormal patterns of gait can result from genetic abnormalities, trauma, chronic and degenerative disease or aging. The standard human gait analysis has to be performed in the specific gait laboratory. Usually gait analysis treatment is coordinated by a physical therapist [1]. This traditional method increases the examination cost and decreases the accuracy of the usual gait model [1]. In this paper, we proposed a system to address the current issues of the patient. This system computes many gait features. In this way the user may have a portable system in daily life instead of participating in gait lab experiments for hours. Furthermore, taking advantage of the affordability and mobility of portable system, persistent gait analysis can be enlarged too many supplications which includes fall prevention, life bearing study and networked wireless health areas.
