Abstract
A subject walking in front of a coded background is photographed with a high speed movie camera. For greater accuracy, the camera is moved parallel to the subject at his walking speed. The successive film frames are analyzed by a flying spot scanner under computer control. The computer program determines the location of the camera using the background code and finds the position co-ordinates of marker dots placed over various points of interest on the subject's body and limbs. From the location of the marker dots the trajectories of the various limbs and joints can be obtained in graphical form, as well as data pertaining to joint velocities and angular displacements. It is felt that this information can have important clinical use for assessing walking disabilities and for measuring gait improvement in amputees.

VR locomotion: walking > walking in place > arm swinging
VRCAI '16: Proceedings of the 15th ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and Its Applications in Industry - Volume 1There are many methods of exploring an HMD-based virtual environment such as using a game controller, physically walking, walking in place, teleporting, flying, leaning, etc. The purpose of this work is to introduce a simple method of implementing "...
A Soft Robotic Hip Exosuit (SR-HExo) to Assist Hip Flexion and Extension during Human Locomotion
2021 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS)This paper presents the design, fabrication, and preliminary results of a soft hip exosuit to assist hip flexion and extension during walking. The exosuit uses soft and compliant materials to create a wearable robot that has a low profile, low mass, and ...
