    This study introduces a computer-assisted gait analysis method comparing patient EMG profiles to able-bodied norms. This approach aids in diagnosing abnormal gaits and planning rehabilitation.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Neurology
    • Rehabilitation Engineering

    Background:

    • Gait analysis is crucial for diagnosing neurological and musculoskeletal disorders.
    • Electromyography (EMG) provides insights into muscle activity during locomotion.
    • Objective quantification of gait abnormalities remains a challenge.

    Observation:

    • A novel computer-assisted system compares patient EMG profiles with able-bodied subject data.
    • EMG and footswitch signals are collected via biotelemetry and processed.
    • Video recordings capture gait patterns for simultaneous analysis.

    Findings:

    • Ensemble averaging of EMG data creates a mean gait profile for comparison.
    • Atypical EMG patterns are correlated with visual gait analysis from video.
