Analysis of gait of healthy women - Study for classification of tracking of the center of pressure

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the tracking of the center of pressure (COP) of healthy women and study classification of tracking of the COP from the point of view of medial or lateral deviation. Seventy-five healthy women participated in this study. Tracking of the COP was measured while the subjects were walking by the Parotec system pressure distribution measuring system and classified by original classifications grouping catastasis coordinates into a group that indicated average tracking of the COP or groups that indicates medial or lateral deviation. The results show that the tracking of the COP of each group was significantly different each they were characteristic. The classification can classify subjects from the point of view of medial or lateral deviation. We should study the effect of the insole on tracking of the COP considering characteristics of the tracking of the COP.
