Gait analysis in cerebral palsy using VICON system

Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2012, Vol 7, Issue 2

Abstract

Gait is a cyclical event, and Perry described it for the first time. The gait has two phases: stance (60%) and swing (40%), each divided, so stance phase includes pre swing, terminal stance, mid stance, loading response and initial contact, and swing phase includes terminal swing, mid swing and initial swing (Fig. 1). The stance phase allows body support while swing phase allows limb movement. During the researching we used Vicon system with MX Camera and MX Ultranet HD Cemra. The MX Ultranet HD provides the following functions in an MX system: supplies power, synchronization, and communications for up to 10 connected MX Cameras, supplies direct synchronization out (sync out) functionality for up to eight third-party Gigabit Ethernet cameras, and supplies power.
