摘要:A method and apparatus for characterizing the gait of a subject uses a treadmillhaving a movable support surface with multiple transducers mounted beneath themovable support surface. The subject performs locomotion on the movable surface. Thecomputer accepts a series of signals from each transducer and identifies the occurrenceof heel- strike and toe-off. The computer identifies the subject's activity as walking or asrunning. The computer identifies two non-contiguous groups of transducers that aremeasuring a force greater than zero associated with the two feet and calculatesquantities related to the forces exerted by each foot during each phase of walking orrunning.
