Elemental analysis of the march in the biomedical area of Colombian Polytechnic 'Jaime Isaza Cadavid'

Abstract

The analysis of the march constitutes one of the fundamental topics of the human movement. This article discusses and suggests elementary classical procedures for basic gait analysis using dynamic fingerprints, which are very useful in academic scenarios with low affordability to the cutting edge technology that characterizes modern laboratories. First, a description of human walking is presented as a cyclic movement characterizing the different moments of its phases, later the different kinematic quantities involved in the traces produced by the march are analyzed and physical elements related to the assimilation and transmission of loads in the part Distal portion of the lower limb. Finally, a format is suggested for the registration and operationalization of the magnitudes evaluated. The objective of this article is to elucidate and claim the utility of classical and perceptible procedures, as well as to encourage students and practitioners in the biomedical areas of Physical Education, Recreation and/or Sports programs to apply physical-mathematical tools Simple in the analysis of human movement.
