1.5.1 GYKO TO ANALYZE WALKING, RUNNING AND MARCHING IN PLACE
Gait analysis is one of the most widely used methods to determine any disorders of the nervous
and/or musculoskeletal system. With OptoGait you can estimate the space-time parameters of the
gait and isolate individual phases of the step, then accurately describe the behaviour of the lower
body.
Gyko, placed in the area beneath the shoulder blade by using a special bib with a comfortable 3-
button fastening, enables naturally integrating the information measured on the ground with the
kinematics of the trunk in order to provide accurate information on the stability and coordination
of the upper body.
The movement of the trunk is analyzed in each phase of the step and, through advanced algorithms,
specific parameters of the analyzed test are estimated such as:
Antero-posterior and medio-lateral imbalance.
Main directions and breadth of the movement of the trunk.
Upper Phase Coordination Index (UPCI) that describes coordination in the rotation of the
trunk.
Phase difference between the lower body and the upper body.
RMS, Harmonic Ratio and Harmonicity index describing gait stability.
