    Study Notes

    • Kinematics of walking has been studied and recorded.
    • Sagittal plane motions are the largest and easiest to track.
    • Displacement in the frontal and transverse planes is smaller and more difficult to measure.
    • Joint motions during gait are highly consistent.
    • Body's center of motion oscillates in the sagittal and frontal planes of motion during walking.
    • COM moves up and down twice during one gait cycle in the sagittal plane.
    • COM moves once from left to right in the frontal plane.
    • Movements at each of the joints during the gait cycle are presented in each of the body's three planes of motion.
    • Results for displacement in frontal and transverse planes are less accurate and reliable.
    • Patterns and sequence of joint motions during gait are highly consistent.
