Análisis de marcha de una persona con muleta de manos libres usando el programa Kinovea.

The human gait is a series of movements of the lower extremities and trunk to move the body forward and can be affected using prostheses and orthoses. A hands-free crutch was built as an alternative to conventional crutches, which presents problems in some parts of its design and requires a gait analysis, which is carried out using the Kinovea software. The current study compared three situations: normal gait, using the orthosis, and accompanying the device with a Canadian cane. It is noted that there are abnormalities when using the orthosis compared to normal walking which is slightly corrected with the auxiliary support of the cane. It is concluded that the orthosis is deficient in its walking cycle, so it is proposed to make structural changes. Developing this hands-free crutch will improve the quality of life for patients with lower limb injuries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
