GAIT ASYMMETRY MEASUREMENT

摘要

A system for measuring variation in the gait of a subject comprises a sensor arranged to measure variations in vertical position of the subject while the subject takes a series of steps, a processor, and a display. The processor is arranged to identify a plurality of points in a first one of the steps and a plurality of points in a second one of the steps, to identify a plurality of pairs of the points, each pair comprising one point in each of the steps, to determine a value of height for each of the points in each of the pairs, and to control the display to produce a display plotting the heights of the two points in each pair against each other.
