| Biography
|
We have analysed two different types of abnormal gaits using sensors
(accelerometers, gyroscopes) - Idiopathic Toe Walking Gait at Monash
University, Melbourne and Gait in Vestibular Subjects at Kings College
London, London. The seminar will discuss the two abnormal gaits and the
advantages and disadvantages of using sensors and the effects on accuracy
of measurements especially if the gait is being assessed, analysed and
monitored remotely.
