human gait analysis

Human gait analysis is the study of how people walk. It involves observing and measuring various aspects of walking, including stride length, speed, and the movement of body parts like legs and arms. This analysis can be used to identify problems in movement due to injury, illness, or age, helping in rehabilitation and improving performance in sports. Technologies like video recording, pressure sensors, and motion capture systems enhance understanding of gait and allow for tailored interventions. Ultimately, gait analysis aims to promote better mobility and overall health.
