The importance of analyzing the human walking gives huge information about the status of the human body. It represents the status of the neurological human system giving orders from the brain through the spinal cord and nerves, to move our limbs in a synchronized way using the muscles, bones, ligaments in an specific order to obtain the human displacement required, indicating a way to detect human movements disorders.
Dear Jorge Garza-Ulloa , I do not know if there is any model which relates all the specific factors you mentioned. However, in my study I used the spatial gait parameters. This practise is already used by podiatrists to diagnose gait abnormalities. In my study I discovered an important parameter namely the 'area swept in one stride' and found that along with other parameters that they are significantly correlated with BMI and body weight of the person. I have published my findings in paper and you can use the link to see if that can help you.

There is a science of Gait Analysis see good introduction on Wikipedia

I think there are many ways in which one could respond to you question, Jorge Garza-Ulloa , one viewpoint I would consider is related to the incumbent equations/models that may be used to theorize gait. this paper Article Dynamic Principles of Gait and Their Clinical Implications
by Kuo and Donelan gives some nice information throughout the article, and demonstrates the idea of the inverted pendulum (and similar) models of human gait. I'm not sure how far that goes to answer your question, but hopefully helps in some small way. Best wishes, Cain
Thanks for your reply Bahadur Singh, you finding obtained from spatial gait parameters in your paper: Estimation of body weight from the base of gait and the area... is very interesting and useful. And it is one more proof that we can know more parameters analyzing the human gait
Thanks for your reply Chris Oliver , the page of Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_analysis is a good introduction to study the human gait. My focus in now on mathematical models that represents the human gait cycle that allows us represent them with the objective of analyze, measure, and classify the human gait of people with neurologic diseases and compare them with the gait of healthy people.
Thanks for your reply Cain C. T. Clark , the paper Article Dynamic Principles of Gait and Their Clinical Implications
is an excellent reference of a model the human gait through an inverted pendulum. Now, I'm interested in related in a mathematical model: the human gait cycles, with joint angles from the four limbs and sEMG for different muscles involved in the human gait to represent their behavior in neurologic diseases to be compared with the same model from healthy people.- Badges
