Measuring Ankle Angle and Analysis of Walking Gait using Kinovea
Understanding the biomechanics of motion related to human walking gait is important in the area of rehabilitation. Infrared cameras motion capture systems have been widely used. Nevertheless, the system is very expensive and thus alternative solutions are explored. This study is aimed to measure the...

| Summary: | Understanding the biomechanics of motion related to human walking gait is important in the area of rehabilitation. Infrared cameras motion capture systems have been widely used. Nevertheless, the system is very expensive and thus alternative solutions are explored. This study is aimed to measure the angle of ankle during walking and then assess the reliability of Kinovea in analysing walking gait. Firstly, a motion capture-analysis system combining HD VideoCam-Kinovea was validated. Then, a motion capture-analysis system combining HD DSLR Camera-Kinovea was used to capture the motion of walking and the relative angles of ankle during walking gait phases are measured. Three volunteered healthy subjects without any gait disorders, age ranged from 20 - 24 years were recruited for this study. Basic statistical analysis was carried out to compute the mean, standard deviation (SD) and variance. In terms of walking gait analysis that is the main part of the current study, the results revealed no statistically significant difference (variance < 5%) in the measured data for the same subject under five trials. This proves that the protocol is repeatable and the current system combining HD DSLR Camera-Kinovea is reliable. |
