Abstract

Instrumental gait analysis allows a quantifiable documentation of human gait and motion characteristics. For this reason, this method is widely used for the diagnosis of pathological walking patterns and the rating of therapeutic measures. A drawback of existing systems is their closed architecture, as well as the special knowledge necessary for interpretation and processing of the results. Furthermore, radiological measurements are rarely fused with the gait motion data. This paper describes a new simulation environment suitable for human gait analysis which uses methods of kinematics, dynamics, segmentation and optimization to provide an evaluation of gait motion and radiological data which can be employed for direct medical interpretation. The objective of the simulation environment is a gait‐analysis software that can be used to produce clinically employable results in hospitals, surgeries and individual practice without the need of additional technical staff.
