Synthesis of Gait Kinematics Using a Database

Numerous researchers have investigated the correlation between body parameters (height, weight, etc) and human gait pattern by observing the gait patterns of subjects [1]. Typically, their analysis methods follow the subsequent process: first, extraction of several gait parameters (step length, gait period, etc) from the subjects’ gait motions; second, determination of correlation between one or two body parameters with one or two gait parameters; finally, verification of effectiveness with statistic tools such as p-value or ANOVA. One simple example is that taller men have longer step lengths than shorted women.
