Abstract

This article analyze gait in healthy subjects with a body mass index greater than 25, classifying them according to the World Health Organization as overweight people, and according to their range at different levels. The Xsens Awinda sensors are placed in 5 different parts of the lower body, these being: the center of gravity, quadriceps, and anterior tibialis, a 10-m walk test is performed. In this way it is possible to determine the characteristic curves for each part of the body and through the analysis, the knee graphs. The gait patterns are obtained for each subject, which are analyzed in conjunction with a database for people who do not present this condition, resulting in comparison graphs, and the error in their approximation, thus determining the existence of a gait pattern.
