I suppose that any gait analysis software is developed for a concrete kind of data.

If you focus on kinematics of gait, and you have access to a motion capture system (i.e. with body markers), they usually facilitate software to analyze some basic spatio-temporal features and export raw data to a further analysis (i.e. STT CLIMA: http://www.stt-systems.com/en/products/motion-capture/life-sciences/clima/software/).

On the other hand, you can also explore the related dynamics (by employing force insoles or treadmills) or the EMG muscle activity during gait. Normally, each of the acquiring systems should allow to export raw data to Matlab. I have been working on this issue for the last 5 years and I have solved all the problems in this regard.

Which is the relationship between 'this attached' and software for human gait capture? Almost 200 pages are a concrete answer..

GaitUp.com provides gait analysis using inertial sensors attached to the feet. It's not free however but collaboration could be possible.

Otherwise i recommend using an optical motions capture system like MotionAnalysis.com or Vicon.

Dear All, What we would like to do, is extract features of Human Gait during various situation and feed this features to NN. :), any suggestions?

@Alan, I did use the technique in thesis by using IMU unites, but I would like to do the same, using visual-based experiments.

One of the best ways of doing this could be by using an external system such as a VICON camera capture system or a lower budget equipment such as microsoft kinetic. You will need to write some software to use the later though

Hi Mohamed,

I am also using IMU for limb tracking. For validation of our algorithm, I am using NaturalPoint camera which is low cost compare to VICON:

I am using 8 cameras V100:R2 and the price is < 10k$ US.

We can share data and publish some paper together.

Dear Mohamed,

Please take a look at the Codamotion ODIN software: http://codamotion.com/index.php/applications/software

ODIN is used for collecting and storing the gait analysis data captured with our mocap system. However, it is a simple one-step process to get this marker data exported to matlab.  

Thanks,

Jon
