Human gait analysis during walk and run
1-ABSTRACTION
When human travel by foot from point X to point Y and they are not in rush, they walk but when they rushed they run. Although human legs can have a wide range of movement and locomotion pattern but when people travel on foot, in most cases they use walk or run. There are many items effect on this selection like the optimum energy consumption. So walk and run are two most important locomotive patterns for human.
The aims of this experiment are to compare the gait pattern in a middle age man in two phases, run and walk by comparing kinematic and kinetic data. With the help of digital camera technology and track manager software the result of this experiment us precise and close to reality.
2-INTRODUCTION
Through human history, people were always curious about the movement involve in walking and running. Painting and sculpture from 500BC in Greece and Persia shows that they knew the shape and alignment of the limbs in different activities. During renaissance this knowledge was changed from an artistic view into a scientific biomechanical understanding. In the recent years by using computer in vast range of science, analysing gait cycle in human became more accurate and visual. By this knowledge producer are being able to design and create better running shoes. Orthopaedist are being able to help people with locomotion disabilities more effective than past.
There are two major models in human locomotion, walking and running. They are similar in many aspects and also different in the other aspects. Biomechanically differences between these two patterns are the subject for this study. The most obvious difference is that in walking entails a double support phase but running entails a flouting phase. Also they have a difference in key event time in a stride cycle. Walking contain a
