3D Path Length [% stride length] is the length of the real path of the foot
during one cycle in 3D space, including both stride length and swing width.
6.4
Turning Analysis
Turning Angle [deg] is the angle between two consecutive foot-flat phases
of the same foot on a horizontal plane. When this parameter is above 20°
for one cycle, it is considered as a turn. It can be discarded to evaluate only
straight walking.
6.5
Clearance Analysis
Note that clearance parameters are accurate when shoe size (not foot size) is entered in
the menu of the software prior to performing data analysis. Clearance calculation is based
on a biomechanical model and may not be estimated in case of severe gait pattern
alterations (shuffling etc...), See Mariani et al., 2012 and Dadashi et al., 2014.
A
A: Max. Heel Clearance [m] is the maximal height above the ground reached by the heel
during each cycle.
B: Max. Toe Clearance 1 [m] is the maximal height above the ground reached by the toes
just after heel max clearance.
C: Min. Toe Clearance [m] is the minimum height of the toes during swing phase.
D: Max. Toe Clearance 2 [m] is the maximal height above the ground reached by the toes
just before heel strike.
