Measurement of Base-of-Support gait parameter using UWB radios

Gait analysis is the study of humans’ movements which in this report, focuses only on walking. This helps to identify early any abnormal gait which may be due to health problems. Observational gait analysis is the main way for therapist to record the patient’s walking pattern but it may not be accur...
