spatiotemporal parameters

Spatiotemporal parameters describe the characteristics of movement that involve both space and time. "Spatial" aspects refer to where a movement occurs—such as the distance covered or the position of limbs—while "temporal" aspects relate to when and how long the movement takes, including timing and velocity. Together, these parameters provide a comprehensive way to analyze and quantify motion dynamics, whether in walking, sports, or rehabilitation, helping to understand efficiency, coordination, and possible abnormalities in movement patterns.
