Kinematics Analysis
• Definition:
It is a branch of mechanics which deals with
description of motion without referring to it causes.
So, it is a descriptive of geometrical analysis.

Spatial parameter
(Distance dimension)
Evaluation:
• It can be done via foot print using tape measurement,water, protractor, marks.
• Then draw a line of progression which is a hypothetical
line corresponding with the direction of walking.

Measurement of spatial parameters:
1- Step length:
It is the linear distance in the plane of progression between twosuccessive points of foot floor contact of the opposite feet.
(Approximately = 70 cm + 10 cm)
2- Stride length: It is the linear distance in the plane of progression between two
successive points of foot floor contact of the same foot.
(Approximately = 150 cm + 15 cm)
One stride = 2 steps in one gait cycle)
3- Stride length/ Lower Extremity length ratio SL/ LEL
ratio: It is the ratio between stride length and lower extremity length.(Nearly = 1.7 ± 0.12)

• Lower extremity length:
is measured by tape measurement from greater trochanter to lateral maleollus.
4. Stride or step width:It is the distance between two lines cutting feet equalhalves (8 cm ± 3.5 cm = 10 – 15 cm)
5. Base of support: (BOS)It is the area over which the body is supported or assumed.

Dimensions
a- Longitudinal dimension:
The longitudinal distance between the two furthest points of two
opposite feet from heel of right foot to toes of left foot.
b- Horizontal dimension:The horizontal distance between the two furthest points of two
opposite feet from lateral border of right foot to lateral border of
left foot.
6. Foot angle:
It is the angle between 2 lines: First line is extending from second toe to the heel center.
Second line is the line of progression or parallel to it
(7o -10o up to 20o.

2, Temporal Parameter
(Time dimension)
Evaluation: can be done by using a stop watch.
Measurement of temporal parameters:1. Step time:
It is time interval between successive instant of foot floor contact of the opposite feet. (0.8 sec.)
2. Stride time:
It is the time interval between successive instant of foot floor contact of thesame foot. (1.09 o.o6 sec = 1.6 sec)
3. Stance duration:
It is the time while the foot is in contact with the floor.
4. Swing duration:
It is the time while the foot is not in contact with the floor. (0.4 sec.)

5. Swing / stance ratio:It is the ratio between swing time and stance time (57 + 0.02)
6. Speed: It is distance / time.
In male: 89 meter/min.
In female: 74 meter/min. (45 cm / sec)
7. Cadence:
It means number of steps per unit time.
(11o + 6 steps /min)
Slow: 60 – 70 Steps / min.
Medium: 80 – 90 Steps / min. Fast:120 Steps / min.
