gait analysis

The gait analysis tag on WindowsForum covers research into low-cost, clinic-grade gait measurement using foot-mounted inertial measurement units (IMUs) and Microsoft Azure Kinect depth cameras. Discussions highlight validation studies from Florida Atlantic University showing that these wearable and camera-based systems can match the accuracy of traditional instrumented walkways for capturing step timing, stride length, and walking speed. The technology aims to make gait analysis more accessible for clinics, community care, and telehealth, supporting fall risk assessment and rehabilitation monitoring. The tag also includes lighter content on walking patterns.
