Abstract
A quantitative and effective evaluation of a human lower limb movement is very important in clinical gait analysis. In particular, evaluating the gait condition of the individual elderly people is required for the fall prevention. Therefore, we propose “Leg motion measurement and gait evaluation system” which can be applied for clinical gait analysis. In this paper, we measured the striding movement over a virtual obstacle of elderly people by using the proposed gait evaluation system and analyzed the changes in the gait condition.
