Abstract
This chapter describes graphical and computational techniques that are being used to analyze cinematographic and electromyographic records of human walking gait. An objective of this study was to define the characteristically constant features of angular motions and of muscle contractions in the lower limb. Floor and treadmill walking were compared in order to assess the validity of using the latter for gait studies.
