Abstract
Several parameters used in the assessment of pathological gait are nor mally determined by measurements obtained by means other than from for ce plate recordings. Methods are presented whereby parameters such as stride length, step length, cadence, single support time, average forw ard velocity and angle of foot in contact with the force plate are det ermined directly from force plate recordings of the gait.
