His teammates had already left for the locker room at South Mountain Arena today, but Scott Niedermayer stayed behind for a few moments, skating around the ice by himself in hard, measured strides.
Most earlier investigators measured strides using leg protraction and retraction (AEP and PEP) only, presumably because most kinematic studies have been performed in two dimensions or using rudimentary 3D analysis [1], [7], [8], [9].
We measured stride-to-stride fluctuations of patients with two forms of mood disorders, unipolar major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder, and compared their gait to that of a healthy control group.
WiGait is better than a number of other solutions because it doesn't require on-body equipment, and it also isn't as invasive as cameras, which also can be used to capture and measure stride length and speed, but which also come with a whole host of privacy concerns.
The footprint patterns were assessed quantitatively by measuring stride length and hind base width.
Cendelin et al. (2010) used the CatWalk system to measure stride parameters in visibly ataxic lurcher mice and found while they were different in lurchers and controls overall, the values for the fastest lurcher trials and the slowest control trials were comparable.
