Gait Analysis options
The "Options" button allows to expand the window to show the available options for the gait
analysis which are briefly explained here.
To analyse forward gait without extrinsic
variations, you can exclude a chosen number of
the first and last cycles and the turns. We
recommend to discard two steps for initiation and
termination (Yuancheng J. et al. 1993).
For foot clearance analysis, the shoesize (from
heel to tip) needs to be specified in cm. Make
sure to measure this parameter if you are
interested in clearance parameters.
An Excel file and/or a pdf report can be
generated by the software. The pdf gives the
statistics of all the parameters and the excel file
provides in addition the values per cycle. The pdf
report can be generated in several languages.
At the bottom part you can add information about
the subject performing the gait test and
additional Remarks appearing at the top of the
pdf report.
5. Practical Considerations
5.1
Charging Physilog
The Physilog®5 is charged via the microUSB port. Plug the microUSB connector of the
delivered cable to the Physilog®5. Plug the USB connector to a Computer or Charger
(voltage specifications: 5V, 100mA). Physilog®5 must be turned off for charging. Do not
charge Physilog® when room temperature is outside of range 0°C to 45°C.
Low battery level is indicated by orange blinking during measurement or if the Physilog®
blinks rapidly 3 times red when starting and doesn't start the recording. When the Physilog®
is discharged, plug it for charging for at least 30 minutes before use. An estimation of the
battery level of the Physilog®5 can be obtained inside the Android companion application
(free to download from www.gaitup.com/support).
5.2
Physilog
The configuration of Physilog®5 can be modified using the Research ToolKit software or the
companion Android Application. This allows to optimise the sensor settings for different
