Computerized simulation of human walking on the sagittal plane

Motion curves are commonly used for evaluating gait performance during walking. Nevertheless, one of the biggest problems for both students and clinic personnel is to correlate information extracted from motion curves to postural development of body segments during walking. Without doubt, this latter fact complicates the analysis. This article describes a technique that is capable of recreating human gait on the sagittal plane by means of a wired diagram, using as input motion curves from the sagittal plane, as well as others from the coronal and transverse planes.
