Run Data Columns
 TExt. [s]: External time: available only for external impulse. This is the time between the
event (start/stop) of the impulse and the entry/exit into/from the OptoGait bars; it can also
comprise split times
 Time [s]: progressive time (split) from the test beginning
 Distance [cm]: progressive distance walked/run by a patient
 TCont. [s]: Contact times
 TFlight [s]: Flight times
 Height [cm or in]: Variation of the centre of gravity height during the execution of
jumps/runs
 Speed [m/s or ft/s]: Average speed of a single step (see Fig. Figure 111)
 Accelerations [m/s
 Steps [cm or ft]: Step length (see definition above)
 Stride [cm]: Stride length (see definition above)
 Pace [step/s]: Rhythm expressed in steps per second
 Stride Angle [deg]: Alpha angle of the stride parable
 Imb. [%]: imbalance indices of the run between right and left step
 Double Sup [s.]: Double Support: Period of time when both feet touch the ground
 Step Times [s]: time between the first contact of one foot and the first contact of the
opposite foot
 Contact Phase [s | %]: the time between the first contact of the heel and the complete
support of the foot; the percentage indicates the value with respect to the total contact time
 Foot Flat [s | %]: the time the foot completely touches the ground; the percentage indicates
the value with respect to the total contact time
 Propulsive phase [s | %]: the time between the lifting of the heel to the complete set off of
the tip of the foot; the percentage indicates the value with respect to the total contact time
