Belokar, Sandip Dhole, Parveen Kalra, Rajesh Kumar (2017) 1.INTRODUCTION Gait analysis is the study of walking a described examination of how the skeleton and muscles work together during walk. In the walk analysis laboratory, the complex walking problems are studied in adults and children. This is used in planning patient management and in figuring out the worth, amount, or quality of results of treatment. Anyone with a movement problem which affects their walking may benefit from this walk analysis. It may be used to plan therapy, surgery, checks orthotic or (artificial leg, arm, etc.) prescription, for research, or as an (a measure of what occurs naturally/sports boundary line) record of the walking pattern1-3.The tenuous beginnings of gait analysis are traceable to early historic times and involve a progressive evolution that represents an amazing panorama of discovery and invention. Its evolution is important to understanding the growth of certain methods and theoretical assumptions. Improvement of present day PC based frameworks happened autonomously amid the late 1970s and mid 1980s in doctor’s facility based research labs.. Business advancement soon took after with the coming into perspective of business TV and later infrared camera frameworks in the mid-1980s4-6.Serdar Kesikburun and his colleagues assessed the effect of ankle foot orthosis on gait parameters and functional ambulation in patients with stroke and found that walking speed, cadence, and ankle dorsiflexion at initial contact and mid swing were significantly increased while walking with AFO compared to walking barefoot7.Esquenazi A and his colleagues investigated the effect of an ankle-foot orthosis on temporal spatial parameters and asymmetry of gait in hemiparetic patients and using AFO, It was found that the symmetry of several of the temporal spatial parameters of gait has been improved, and consequently8, there was enhancement in the gait pattern of these hemiparetic patients.Franceschini Mand his colleagues assessed the effects of an AFO on spatiotemporal parameters and energy cost of hemiparetic gait and found that there was significant improvementin self-selected speed, stance and double support, stride cycle , and reduced energy cost of walking without affecting cardiorespiratory response9. Moreover, a significant correlation among the improvement of double support and the fall of energy cost was found. The phases of walking can be understood by considering each foot movement during walking.. There are two phases, i.e: Stance phase and Swing phase as shown in Fig 1. Stance phase represent thethe time during which the foot is on the ground and it is about 3/5th of the walking cycle. It also comprises both feet are on the ground during stance phase. Now, when one foot is in air and other foot is on the ground then the foot in air represents the swing phase of the gait cycle. Aprecise way to understand the different phases of the gait cycle considering single foot can be represented through five substages as shown in Fig. 1. The substages has been described as follows:Three Dimensional Gait Assessment During Walking of Healthy People and Drop Foot Patients. Defence Life Sci J 2: 14-20.
