[Application and evaluation of multiple exposure photography and motion analysis system in gait measurement]

Accurate techniques to evaluate and quantitate gait patterns have been available in clinical applications for the last 20 years. In this study, by employing multiple exposure photography, the walking velocity, stride length, step cadence and joint angle of the lower limbs were recorded for normal young men during the gait cycle. Data were compared with results from the motion analysis system and related researches. The results showed that multiple exposure photography can also provide quantitative analysis of several important time-distance parameters in the gait cycle.
