Labview-based Gait Analysis System for Rehabilitation Monitoring

In this paper, a newly approach of human gait analysis for rehabilitation monitoring is presented. We developed a prototype for the gait analysis system and display the gait pattern by using LabVIEW software tool. The analysis is carried out by using the gait analysis hardware (GAH) that complete with sensory board, ultrasonic and wireless communication system. There are two types of system which are Gait Analysis Software Ultrasonic (GAS-US) and Inertial Measurement Unit (GAS-IMU) have been simulated to get minimum foot clearance (MFC) and orientation measurement. For the complete solution with the feature of error correction, both of GAS-US and GAS-IMU have been combined to perform a gait analysis system. The gait patterns that produce by the systems is displayed and achieved the rapid analysis of human gait by using LabVIEW.
