A Study of Human Gaits across Different Speeds

This paper explores time-distance gait parameters across walking speeds. Our approach consists of designing an experimental setup to gather walking data at various speeds, analyzing time-distance features with respect to speeds. We explain the motivations of this study and the details of the experimental setup that allows people to walk naturally on the ground level floor and at the same time achieve the walking speed-control goal. The characteristics of gait features are demonstrated at the interand intra-individual variations.
