Human-machine interaction in gait analysis – Review Article

Abstract

Background: During locomotion, a gait is a pattern of limb movement. The numerous ways in which a human can move, either naturally or as a result of specific training, are referred to as human gaits. A person's gait is their walking pattern. Walking requires muscle coordination and balance to push the body forward in a rhythm known as the stride. An irregular gait could be caused by a number of factors.
Degenerative disease (such as arthritis), stroke, any neurologic ailment, and an inner ear issue are all common causes. Gait analysis is the systematic study of animal locomotion, specifically human motion, employing observers' eyes and brains, as well as apparatus for monitoring body movements, body mechanics, and muscle activation.
However, fewer exoskeleton gait planning strategies, such as stride length or step breadth, can suit the demands of patients in real time.
