Inspect3D Tutorial: Treadmill Walking In Healthy Individuals

Introduction

Visual3D and Inspect3D can be used to automate the processing and analysis of large batches of clinical data. This tutorial provides an example of how to do so using a publicly available data set [1].

Gait mechanics data is used in clinical evaluations to compare pathological motion to healthy motion. Fukuchi et al has provided a publicly available data set which includes 3D kinematic data for 26 lower limb and pelvic markers and ground reaction force plate data for 42 healthy subjects walking at a variety of speeds.

This tutorial will be structured to demonstrate Inspect3D's capabilities while answering the research question: what is the relationship between handrail use and joint angles while walking in healthy older adults?
