2. Pedometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedometer

   Pedometer. A pedometer, or step-counter, is a device, usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the person's hands or hips. Because the distance of each person's step varies, an informal calibration, performed by the user, is required if presentation of the distance ...

3. Gait analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_analysis

   Gait analysis is the systematic study of animal locomotion, more specifically the study of human motion, using the eye and the brain of observers, augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements, body mechanics, and the activity of the muscles. [1] Gait analysis is used to assess and treat individuals with conditions affecting their ...

4. Gait (human) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_(human)

   Gait (human) Humans using a running gait. The runner in the back and on the far right are in the suspended phase, in which neither foot touches the ground. A gait is a manner of limb movements made during locomotion. [1] Human gaits are the various ways in which humans can move, either naturally or as a result of specialized training. [2]

   “The average stride length has been measured to be about 2.1 to 2.5 feet, which corresponds to roughly about 2,000 steps for most people to reach one mile,” Savage explains.

6. Bipedal gait cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipedal_gait_cycle

   Stride Length: It is defined as the distance between any two successive points of heel contact of the same foot. In a normal gait, the stride length is double the step length. Walking Base or Stride Width: It is defined as the side-to-side distance between the line of step of the two feet. Cadence: It is defined as the number of steps per unit ...

7. Effect of gait parameters on energetic cost - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_gait_parameters...

   The effect of gait parameters on energetic cost is a relationship that describes how changes in step length, cadence, step width, and step variability influence the mechanical work and metabolic cost involved in gait. The source of this relationship stems from the deviation of these gait parameters from metabolically optimal values, with the ...

8. Pace (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_(unit)

   A pace is a unit of length consisting either of one normal walking step (approximately 0.75 metres or 30 inches), or of a double step, returning to the same foot (approximately 1.5 metres or 60 inches). The normal pace length decreases with age and some health conditions. [1] The word "pace" is also used for units inverse to speed, used mainly ...
