Description
An easy-to-use, low cost, portable system is presented. It consists of a transmitter, four electrical sensors, a receiver and a PC with the appropriate software. The system can assess footfall timing, that is the single limb support, double limb support, single step duration values, and the gait cycle duration. This system has been tested for its accuracy with known signals. Then, measurements on a group of twenty (20) healthy adults were performed, with statistically insignificant (p>0.2) results to those reported in the literature. The above prove the system's validity for temporal gait analysis.
